Green hydrogen plays a crucial role in reaching the climate targets and forms one of the key pillars of the VERBUND strategy. For VERBUND, green hydrogen is a logical extension of the value chain for positioning ourselves as a holistic decarbonisation partner for our customers, both with green electricity and with green hydrogen. VERBUND Green Hydrogen GmbH was founded with the goal of covering the increasing demand for competitive, green hydrogen in order to secure industrial centres.
To achieve the ambitious climate targets and reduce dependency on fossil sources of energy, we are accelerating the generation, transport and use of green hydrogen. Together with partners from various sectors of industry, we are implementing local projects and advancing the establishment of a green hydrogen economy via import routes. In doing so, we address the entire value chain – from hydrogen production to transport and use at customers.

Franz Helm, Managing Director of VERBUND Green Hydrogen GmbH
The use of green hydrogen is especially needed in those sectors that have limited opportunities for electrification. We are therefore developing hydrogen projects together with customers in hard-to-abate sectors such as the steel industry, (petro-)chemicals and mobility. Using the know-how of an integrated energy company, our experts rely on in-depth experience from the fields of power plant construction and power trading, and expand the VERBUND portfolio with green hydrogen. Production on the customer’s premises ensures instant, reliable availability of green hydrogen.
Only by developing diversified hydrogen import routes can the rapidly growing demand for green hydrogen be covered under competitive conditions and thus the industrial location secured for the long term. At the same time, fossil dependencies are largely reduced. We are therefore expanding the value chain with international generation as well as with the transport and marketing of green hydrogen. Here, too, international partnerships and networks are critical to success.
Achieving climate neutrality is a joint effort. VERBUND is therefore represented in various networks and associations and is actively involved in the establishment of an international hydrogen economy.
