Project H2-SR

H2-SR Project is financed under the PNRR public tender no. 2070 of 12/30/22 issued by Sicilian Region and referring to the renewable hydrogen production plant and the related photovoltaic system exclusively serving it

Why in the industrial center of Syracuse?
Because it is located in the center of one of the largest industrial areas in Europe, developed starting in the 1950s in Augusta, a very vast industrial area in which there are three refineries, two of which are interconnected, various electricity production plants from fossil, petrochemical plants, cement plants and other minor plants. In some of these plants, hydrogen of fossil origin is already produced and used in industrial processes, for example in the processes of reducing the sulfur present in the fuels we use in our cars. We are talking about tens of thousands of tons of hydrogen per year, which being of fossil origin causes hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 released into the atmosphere every year. The Confindustria Siracusa sustainability report indicates that the industrial center in the province of Syracuse alone emits just under 8 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every year.
The Sicily region has the greatest solar radiation in Europe and there is a very significant wind power capacity, which is essential to have renewable electricity which is used to produce renewable hydrogen.
