Axpo proposes 15 MW hydrogen project in Brugg

Axpo Holding AG has submitted the building permit application for a 15 MW facility in northern Switzerland that will produce green hydrogen and serve filling stations.

About 2,000 tonnes of green hydrogen will be electrolyzed annually at the proposed green hydrogen manufacturing facility. The production's electrical needs are met by the nearby Wildegg-Brugg hydropower facility, which is owned by Axpo.

When it comes to land usage, Brugg residents will have the last say during a public meeting in December 2021. If approved, Axpo will file a request for a building permit. The facility is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
