Axpo and Rhiienergie open green hydrogen production plant in Switzerland

In Switzerland, Axpo and electric utility Rhiienergie opened the first green hydrogen production plant in Switzerland’s Graubünden canton. The facility is located next to the Reichenau hydropower plant in Domat/Ems and can produce up to 350 tons of green hydrogen a year. The plant’s green hydrogen is produced by water electrolysis, using green electricity from the adjacent hydroelectric power plant, Axpo said. Working with the SGV shipping company, Axpo is planning the first hydrogen-powered vessel on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. As part of this project, Axpo will supply the green hydrogen needed to operate the boat.
