BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 13. Axpo, together
with its partners Schätzle AG, EWA-Energie Uri, and SGV Holding AG
(Schifffahrtsgesellschaft Vierwaldstättersee), has officially begun
construction on a state-of-the-art hydrogen production plant,

via Axpo.
The project, led by H2Uri - a joint venture of the four partners
- is situated adjacent to the EWA-Energie Uri hydropower plant in
Bürglen, Switzerland.
The plant will utilize green electricity from the hydropower
facility to produce up to 260 tonnes of green hydrogen annually,
eliminating the need for over one million litres of diesel. Among
its applications, the green hydrogen will power the passenger
vessel Saphir on Lake Lucerne, marking a significant step toward
sustainable transport solutions.
H2Uri shareholder Schätzle AG, which operates an Avia hydrogen
refuelling station in central Switzerland, will also procure green
hydrogen from the plant. Axpo and its partners aim to commission
the facility as early as next year, reinforcing Switzerland's
energy security and promoting a sustainable energy mix.
In addition to the Bürglen project, Axpo is advancing other
hydrogen initiatives. The company is set to start construction in
2025 on another green hydrogen plant at Wildegg-Brugg in Aargau,
following delays in the permitting process.
These projects highlight Axpo's commitment to decarbonization
and its role in fostering innovation in renewable energy both
locally and internationally.
