In Bolzano/Bozen Italy during the EcoDolmites Event E-vehicles will be tested on a tour over the four most famous pass-roads (Campolongo, Pordoi, Sella, Grödnerjoch) in the Dolomites, UNESCO World Natural Heritage since 2009. During this event, Walter Huber, president of IIT, will give an expert lecture on “E-Mobility: a future without emissions”.

KlimaMobility 2011 Bolzano/Bozen 22 Aug - 24 Sep, 2011
Klimamobility is a trade show dedicated to sustainable mobility which took place from September 22 – 24, 2011 in Bozen/Bolzano, Italy. HyER was present and took part to present the organisation and activities. Sustainable vehicles which run on 2, 3 and 4 wheels were showcased. Batteries vehicles, charging stations, new technologies and innovative systems on sustainable mobility were also presented. Klimamobility took place concurrently with Klimaenergy, an international trade show focused on renewable energies for public and commercial use. Its last edition in 2010 hosted more than 200 exhibitors and over 8.000 visitors. Together the two trade shows embody a professional meeting point for experts of the sector and support the growth and progress of a sustainable culture. Klimamobility is accompanied by an attractive fringe program: there are 2 Test Drive Areas where products of the participating companies can be tested, and well known experts of the sector are speaking at the International Congress. The presentations will be held in German and in Italian (with simultaneous translation). Joachim Dejaco, director of STA, Thomas Klauser, director of IIT, and Walter Huber, president of IIT and of Beobachtungsstelle Brennerbasistunnel, will presented the “Model region Südtirol/ Alto Adige: the hydrogen mobility in Südtirol/Alto-Adige and the green corridor” [...]
International conference on stationary fuel cell applications held in Bozen/Bolzano, 16th June 2011 16 Jun - 16 Jun, 2011
The IIT (Institute for Innovative Technologies Ltd, Bozen) organized an international conference about the state of the art of stationary applications of fuel cells on June 16th 2011. The conference took place at the TIS innovation Park in Bozen/Bolzano. The conference was addressed to local politicians, energy suppliers, engineers, installers, planners and energy consumers. Walter Huber, president of IIT, moderated the event. Marlene Rinner, IIT division manager H2-Mobility, and Martin Gallmetzer, IIT director R&D, gave an overview on fuel cells and their different applications. Geoffrey Budd from Ballard Power Systems, Canada and Volker Nerlich from Hexis AG, Switzerland, explained how fuel cells as cogeneration units can supply single- and multiple family houses with electricity and heat with a higher efficiency and less emissions as conventional solutions. Many of these fuel cell power units can be connected to a virtual power plant to balance supply and demand in the electricity networks, stated Paddy Thompson from Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited, England. Fuel cells supply off-grid telecommunication infrastructures more efficient, reliable, longer and with lower CO2 emissions than the so far employed battery systems and diesel generators. Marco Congiatu from Electro Power Systems, Italy, reported the installation of already more than 600 of such devices worldwide.
