Being aware of its responsibility towards the territory and future generations, the Brenner Motorway wants to actively contribute to a zero emissions future in the transport sector. The particular location of the Brenner Motorway (A22) along the European Corridor 1 proves to be strategic in order to sensitize and favour the circulation of hydrogen vehicles. In the Alpine area there is a concrete opportunity to obtain hydrogen from renewable sources through the use of hydroelectric power. Hydrogen represents a form of ‘clean’ energy and increases the efficiency of local energy production from the economic as well as environmental point of view. Furthermore, the use of hydrogen avoids harmful effects on health and environment due to fossil fuels and reduces carbon dioxide emissions. A22 is member of the Institute for Technical Innovations (I.I.T. Scarl), which carries out research and innovation activities and which in the future aims at extending its structure to other institutional as well as private subjects in order to implement an overall project along the whole Brenner – Modena axis. Within the framework of the industrial plan drawn up by the A22, which foresees the construction of hydrogen filling stations every 100 km along the section Munich. – [...]
Habitech is a public-private technological district with the expressed goal of making the Trentino Region a global model for the mass deployment of Hydrogen and Fuel Cells applications and other alternative energy sources. The regional stakeholders are joint in this effort and share a real interest in creating an alternative energy ecosystem for the future. We believe that Hydrogen and other alternative energy options will revolutionise not only cities, but more importantly, the lives of our citizens through the freedom that comes from energy independence, the overall environmental benefits and the economic opportunity that these potential new technologies will generate. Habitech is a public-private cluster with 173 partners that operates by: Increasing financial support to the research, development and dissemination of technology on clean and renewable energy resources; An Integrated Product Policy in cooperation with business to reduce resources’ use and the environmental impact of waste.
