sms.law founding partner Christian Mayer is supporting the latest project of Austria’s largest energy provider Wien Energie
Presently, Wien Energie, Rhein Energie, Siemens Energy, and Verbund are collaborating on a global premiere for sustainable environmental protection and CO2 reduction. At the Donaustadt power plant in Vienna, hydrogen is being mixed into the steam turbine system for the first time, in addition to the usual natural gas. Testing will be conducted until mid-September to determine the optimal mixture. If successful, the plant will be certified for continuous operation. With just a 15% volume blend of green hydrogen, the Donaustadt power plant, which generates electricity for approximately 850,000 households, could save around 33,000 tons of CO2 annually.
