There is great interest in green hydrogen. A first supply contract has now been signed with (Sandvik Group). The industrial company based in St. Martin has secured 840,000 cubic metres of hydrogen (around 70 tons) annually in order to make its production even more sustainable from October 2022 .

"The contract with Energie Steiermark enables us to get started with "green hydrogen" and to strengthen our sustainability strategy. The proximity of our own facility in St. Martin im Sulmtal to the hydrogen production plant represents an additional contribution to supplying our state-of-the-art metallurgy plants from within the region," say Andreas Bock and Alex Nieuwpoort .

"This new production facility and the accompanying research project send a clear signal across Europe in terms of the energy transition. At the same time, the cooperation with the Climate and Energy Fund will enable us to further expand our green partnership with industry," Purrer and Graf continue.
