Valuable insights from #H2EQuarterly’s #Regional Member Spotlight!
🇮🇹 G. Claudia R. Romano, Director and Head of Energy and Green Economy Area of the Italian region Regione Emilia-Romagna, highlights #hydrogen opportunities and the roadmap to get there.
⛰️At the end of last year, the Modena #HydrogenValley, a project led by Snam S.p.A. and Bologna-based utility Gruppo Hera, was launched. It involves the construction of two solar farms – one ground-mounted and one floating - and a 2.5MW #electrolyser with the capacity to produce around 400 tonnes of #renewablehydrogen per year. Local transport companies TPER SPA and SETA are set to use this hydrogen to decarbonize their fleets.
Romano is committed to preparing the region for future projects, ensuring efficient and responsible use of resources to expand its hydrogen capacity.
“We are using the hydrogen valley as a pioneer to launch other private initiatives, and we are looking at lots of them,” says Romano.
The success of the Comune di Modena Hydrogen Valley, a brownfield project located in a disused landfill, provides good lessons for future projects because, as she explains, “being a very dense region with lots of infrastructure and inhabitants, we don’t have much available surface to place PV and wind farms”.
