The Clust-ER Greentech H2 and Power-to-gas working group is part of the Low Carbon Economy value chain. Committed to the achievement of the cluster Strategic Objective “Development of the biofuels, e-fuels and hydrogen supply chain”. This challenge includes the development and optimization of biogas upgrading processes, systems for the production and distribution of alternative fuels, components for the treatment of gas mixtures containing CH4, CO2, H2. The topics of interest include electrolysis for the production of hydrogen, the development of technologies for the optimization of alternative fuel production processes, such as methanation or the synthesis of ethanol or jet fuels, starting from H2 and CO2 or from the gasification of residual biomass. Furthermore, the supply chain also includes hydrogen production and storage technologies and applications with fuel cells or in advanced thermodynamic cycles.
In Greentech H2 catalogue, the 53 GREENTECH members which actively contribute to the H2 regional ecosystem are hereafter introduced and grouped into:
- H2 Production
- H2 Storage, transport & distribution
- H2 Use
- Integrated operators & developer
- Research & Innovation Centers (including the research centres and laboratories accredited into the “Emilia Romagna High Technology Network” – E-R HTN, a network that brings together academic institutions, innovation hubs and public research centers present in the regional territory)
- Networks and others
