On September 16, Radio 24 launched two different episodes with an interview to Luigi Crema and Matteo Testi, respectively the Director of the Center SE and the Head of HyRES Unit.
In the programme Autotrasporti, Luigi Crema spoke with Andrea Ferro about articulated lorries and trucks powered by hydrogen. “The hydrogen topic is closely linked to the entire supply chain of the sector. First of all it is necessary that hydrogen is obtained in a sustainable way, therefore hydrogen produced from renewable sources or with the capture of CO2, and then there is the issue, still very critical, of refueling infrastructures, today in Italy there is only one, in Bolzano”, reports Luigi Crema.
On the same day but in the programme Smart Cities, Matteo Testi was interviewed by Maurizio Melis on the recent award Hydrogen TCP Award of Excellence 2024, won by the SWITCH Project.
Coordinated by the Bruno Kessler Foundation, the project led to the development of a particular type of fuel cell capable of operating in two distinct modes: as an electrolyser, producing hydrogen from water, and as a fuel cell, producing heat, electricity and hydrogen starting from hydrocarbons such as methane, preferably organic, of course. By doing so, it is possible to guarantee those who adopt this technology a supply of hydrogen with a low CO2 content, regardless of the discontinuity of sources such as the sun and the wind.
The episodes are in Italian.
