Austria''s hydrogen strategy focuses on industry decarbonisation

The Alpine country will produce hydrogen using green electricity generated locally to reduce the need for natural gas and cut its dependence on Russian energy imports. The local generation of climate-neutral hydrogen will be supported with EUR 40 million (USD 42.76m) per year under the Renewable Energy Expansion Act.

Some lessons learned from Renewable Energy Communities

Renewable energy communities (RECs) aim to gener-ate and consume renewable energy locally, increasing self-consumption and reducing the energy supply from the grid (Preßmair, Mayr, & Benke, 2024). All citizens, aside from living in a city or not owning a renewable energy source (RES) is given the chance and are en-
