According to Shanghaidaily, “OMV stated in a press release that hydrogen is the company’s ‘first choice in the fuel technology of the future,’ and that given the requisite infrastructure for its use is already in place in Austria, it is set to become an important energy alternative for car manufacturers and motorists in the coming years.
