HLab

Hera Group to open a Laboratory for Hydrogen Energy (HLab) in Forly, Italy

December 5, 2011

The HLab will be one of the few labs in Italy that receives energy from renewable sources (photovoltaic) and uses a fuel cell cogeneration system. All new technologies will be carefully studied to identify the most efficient and more attractive for industrial production. The laboratory is expected to become fully operational in 2012 and will focus on research on renewable and alternative energy sources.

From PoloIdrogeno Lazio opportunities for business

CIRPS Sapienza University of Rome draws the new energy scenario and shows the activities of PoloIdrogeno Lazio by Lazio Region and higlights the chances it can bring for the companies seeing renewable sources of energy not an alternative but a key factor to development. During the meeting open to the public, reasearchers from the PoloIdrogeno will display the latest results gained and will debate with institutions and companies about the crucial energy issues we can’t help to face. Understanding the green evolution in the energy sector and identifying advanced paths to realize a really responsible innovation will be the guidelines of the meeting. It will be held on January 20th 2010 at 9.30 am at Civitavecchia, Porto Storico, in the PoloIdrogeno lecture hall.

Region Description

Lazio  is a regione of central Italy, bordered by Tuscany, Umbria, Abruzzo, Marche, Molise, Campania and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Lazio is notable for its history, art, architecture, archaeology, religion and culture. The name of the region survives in the tribal designation of the ancient population of Latins[citation needed], from whom the Romans originated[citation needed]. In Roman mythology, the shadowy king Latinus allegedly gave his name to the region[citation needed]. The name is most likely derived from the Latin word “latus”, meaning “wide”, expressing the idea of “flat land”[citation needed] (in contrast to the local Sabine high country) but the name may originate from an earlier, non Indo-European one. Latium, originally inhabited by the Latins, extended its boundaries to the territories of the Sanniti, the Marsi and Campania thanks to the Roman conquests, taking in the lands of the Ernici, the Equi, the Aurunci and Volsci. This territory was called Latium Novi to differentiate it from Latium veteres, which indicated the original boundaries. A landscape in Lazio: part of Tivoli, near Rome, seen from the upper terraces of the Villa d’Este.During the Augustus’ administrative system, Latium – together with the present region of Campania- was the first Italian region.

Regional strategies and activities

Research moves the development of a territory. And the research started by the Ministry of Environment and Protection of the Territory and Sea and the Veneto Region pertaining to hydrogen and its utilizations aims exactly at this goal. Beginning with the initial idea of establishing a Hydrogen District at Porto Marghera, which has spurred also the establishment of the Hydrogen Park Consortium, the research projects subjects of this book were brought to life, which explains, analyses and looks to the future with the intentions of spreading how much the Region and the Ministry are doing for the enterprises and territory for innovation and outlook to the future. Based on the 2005 Action Plan Agreement signed between the two institutions up to the definition of an Addendum in 2009, we have provided for the development of a series of new projects on production, distribution and use of hydrogen. The Objective: develop, by involving the business sector, the hydrogen technology necessary to special sectors and productive sites, starting with Porto Marghera where the first electric plant fuelled exactly by hydrogen has been built. Together with the technological development, the researches aimed at understanding how to overcome the legislative or safety problems that [...]
