Austria-based Strabag and German-Swiss Liebherr have embarked on a pioneering venture introducing the world's first hydrogen-powered wheeled loader. Liebherr's prototype, the L 566 H, employs a hydrogen engine and was launched in Salzburg, Austria, aiming to revolutionize emissions in the construction industry. Strabag's deployment of the hydrogen loader at the Kanzelstein quarry marks a significant milestone, potentially saving substantial diesel and CO2 annually. Partnering with Energie Steiermark, the project secures a green hydrogen supply, supporting Strabag's ambitious goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2040. With geopolitical significance, Austria's Minister for Climate Action, Leonore Gewessler, emphasized the project's role in reducing CO2 emissions and diversifying energy sources away from fossil natural gas. The initiative not only focuses on innovation and sustainability in construction but also on the broader impact of hydrogen adoption in combating climate change and enhancing energy security.
