Siemens has developed an electrolysis system based on PEM (proton exchange membrane) technology, which enables large quantities of energy to be captured and stored through the conversion of electrical current into hydrogen. Already today, VERBUND generates around 96% of its electricity from renewable energy sources, primarily hydropower.

The Climate Change Commission’s analysis shows that by 2030 67% of cars entering the New Zealand market are EV. The transition to electric vehicles depends on the availability of renewable electricity and the infrastructure to enable users to charge their vehicles. The scale of this transition cannot be underestimated.
