What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Masdar announced its withdrawal from a planned green hydrogen facility in Austria on September 21, 2026, citing strategic changes in Abu Dhabi. OMV will continue developing the $688m project independently. The hydrogen production plant, located in Bruck an der Leitha, Lower Austria, was initially set up as a joint venture between OMV and Masdar.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The facility, which will produce up to 23,000 tonnes per annum of green hydrogen, remains largely financed. The European Investment Bank approved a €450m loan in July, and Austria's Wirtschaftsservice allocated up to €123m in production funding. This ensures the large-scale green hydrogen capacity in Europe is moving forward despite the partnership change.
