Linde Supplies Infineon Austria with Renewable Hydrogen

Linde commenced operations at its Villach, Austria electrolysis plant on August 20, 2025. The facility generates hydrogen using renewable energy sources. This plant will provide all hydrogen needed for Infineon's semiconductor manufacturing. The move significantly cuts the site's carbon dioxide output. Infineon requires hydrogen at 99.999999 percent purity for its production processes. Thomas Reisinger, Board Member for Operations at Infineon, highlighted the dual strategic and sustainable benefits of this secure hydrogen supply. The project replaces hydrogen derived from fossil fuels with clean, green hydrogen. This aligns with Infineon's objectives for CO2 neutrality. The electrolysis plant has an annual production capacity of approximately 290 tons of hydrogen. This output fully meets the semiconductor facility's requirements. The process generates no greenhouse gas emissions. Richard Hagenfeldt, Managing Director of Linde Electronics, commented on the project's role in advancing decarbonization within the semiconductor sector through technology and collaboration. This initiative marks a substantial step towards cleaner industrial operations in Austria.
