Switzerland's Federal Council has recently announced the adoption of a national hydrogen strategy, emphasizing the development of the domestic hydrogen market and its integration into the larger European network. The strategy, with a focus on hydrogen and power-to-x (PtX) derivatives, aims to pave the way for a fossil-free energy supply by 2050. The strategy underscores the importance of utilizing hydrogen from CO2-neutral production processes and deploying it where it is both economically and ecologically feasible. Axpo, a Swiss renewable energy company, along with partners Schätzle, EWA-Energie Uri, and SGV Holding, has embarked on the construction of a new hydrogen production plant in Bürglen. This plant, set to produce up to 260 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, receives its power supply from the adjacent EWA-Energie Uri hydropower plant, aligning with the commitment to sustainable energy practices. The green hydrogen produced at the plant will be utilized to fuel SGV's hydrogen passenger vessel 'Saphir' on Lake Lucerne, showcasing practical applications of renewable energy in transportation. Additionally, Schätzle plans to purchase the green hydrogen for their Avia hydrogen refueling station, further promoting the use of clean energy sources. The strategy also emphasizes the need for partnerships, both nationally and internationally, to enhance the development of projects along the hydrogen value chain. Notably, the cantons in Switzerland are encouraged to formulate their own hydrogen strategies and streamline their legal frameworks to support the burgeoning hydrogen industry and promote innovation and sustainability.
