Summary
INNIO Group today announced that it was awarded the COGEN Europe Recognition Award 2024 in the Technology and Innovation category for its 1 MW-class hydrogen combined heat and power (CHP) plant. Powered by green hydrogen, INNIO Group collaborated with RAG Austria AG to develop this project and operate the hydrogen engine for the start of this heating season. At RAG Austria’s site, green hydrogen is produced in summer through water electrolysis from surplus renewable production and stored in the world’s first underground hydrogen storage in a porous reservoir in Rubensdorf near Gampern, Austria. This storage facility can hold up to 4.2 GWh of surplus solar power in the form of hydrogen. To make this hydrogen usable in winter, RAG Austria selected INNIO Group’s Jenbacher technology to convert it back to electricity and heat for the site’s local requirements.
