Hydrogen: Austria. The European Investment Bank (EIB) has approved a €450 million loan for the construction of Austria’s largest green hydrogen production facility, supporting a major renewable energy project that aims to reduce industrial emissions and strengthen Europe’s energy security. The financing will support Austrian energy, fuels and chemicals company OMV in building a largescale green hydrogen plant at Bruck an der Leitha in Lower Austria. The loan will cover nearly three-quarters of the project’s estimated €600 million cost. Construction is already underway, with commercial operations expected to begin by the end of 2027. The facility will feature a 140-megawatt electrolyser powered entirely by renewable electricity. Once operational, it is expected to produce up to 23,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually, making it the largest green hydrogen plant in Austria and one of the five largest in Europe. The hydrogen will be transported through a 22-km pipeline to OMV’s Schwechat refinery, where it will gradually replace hydrogen produced from fossil fuels for refining operations. Link 15/07/2026.

Hydrogen: USA. Sweden’s PowerCell secured a firm order to supply hydrogen fuel cells for a planned AI data centre in California, while separately signing a non-binding agreement covering up to 300MW of future deployments. The new partnership with US off-grid data centre developer ECL includes a firm purchase order for PowerCell’s containerised PS190 systems for the company’s planned CSC-1 facility in Santa Clara. The 35MW site will use grid electricity, natural gas, batteries, and hydrogen fuel cells, with the first phase designed to support up to 2.5MW of AI computing. Behind-the-meter power solutions are increasingly being deployed to meet the demands of data centres, with connection timelines reaching over 10 years in some locations. Link 15/07/2026.
