Axpo, a prominent energy company, has embarked on a significant endeavor by establishing Switzerland’s largest production plant for green hydrogen in Reichenau, Graubünden.
This initiative underscores Axpo’s commitment to harnessing renewable energy sources and driving innovation in the hydrogen energy sector.
The production process at the Reichenau facility epitomizes environmental responsibility, as hydrogen is generated through CO2-neutral means. Leveraging electrolysis powered by the nearby hydroelectric power station, Axpo ensures that the hydrogen production process aligns with sustainable practices, contributing to carbon emission reduction efforts.
The produced hydrogen serves various purposes, from fueling stationary fuel cells for clean power generation to supplying zero-emission fuel for vehicles and high-temperature industrial processes. Axpo’s initiative has the potential to significantly reduce diesel consumption, paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future in transportation and industrial sectors.
Axpo’s ambitious vision extends beyond the Reichenau plant, with plans for hydrogen-powered passenger ships on Lake Lucerne and the exploration of larger-scale production facilities in Bürglen and Sicily. These expansion endeavors highlight Axpo’s commitment to advancing the adoption of green hydrogen on a broader scale, both regionally and internationally.
