Hydrogen with a purity level of 99.999999 percent is needed in the semiconductor industry as a process gas to precisely process material layers and manufacture microchips, as explained by gas specialist Linde. Until now, the hydrogen was transported by truck from Germany to Infineon Austria in Villach, produced from natural gas. However, with the 2-megawatt electrolysis plant, highly pure hydrogen is now produced on-site without CO₂ emissions and used for semiconductor manufacturing, as emphasized.

Nearly 300 Tons of Green Hydrogen Per Year

Linde is also the operator of the plant and was responsible for its design and construction, as further revealed. The plant, which highlights the benefits of green hydrogen and aims to strengthen Austria in this regard, operates on the principle of PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane), as Linde further explains. Using certified green electricity, the electrolysis plant can produce around 290 tons of clean hydrogen per year. This fully covers 100 percent of the amount needed for production at Infineon Austria in Villach.
