In Austria, INNIO announced that RAG Austria AG (RAG) has selected INNIO Group’s Jenbacher hydrogen engine technology to power its hydrogen cogeneration plant in Gampern, Upper Austria.
The combined heat and power plant (CHP) will generate green power and heat, INNIO said. As part of the commissioning of this hydrogen storage facility, up to 4.2 gigawatt hours of electricity produced in summer can be kept ready for winter in the form of green hydrogen, the company added.
“In Gampern, Upper Austria, we are demonstrating what can and must be done to manage the energy transition by securing a reliable supply of green energy throughout the year,” said Markus Mitteregger, CEO of RAG Austria AG. ““The hydrogen cogeneration plant is a key building block for the entire hydrogen ramp-up, because flexible, quick-start CHP plants can not only generate electricity as needed, but also produce the heat that is so important in winter. This significantly improves efficiency while also facilitating the heating transition,” he added.
