Storing renewable energy in the form of hydrogen and distributing it as a “made in South Tyrol” fuel to emission-free vehicles is one of the aims of the H2 South Tyrol project, and it is for this reason that the Hydrogen Centre in Bozen South has been established in close cooperation with the Brennerautobahn AG operating the A22 motorway and financed by the European Regional Development Fund.
Three modular electrolyzers produce up to 180 Nm³/hour of hydrogen under normal conditions (Nm³ = cubic meters at 15°C). The compressed hydrogen is stored in gaseous form and can currently supply up to 15 urban buses (with daily routes of 200-250 km) or up to 700 cars. The plant also has the capability to supply hydrogen cylinder groups or trailer trucks with tankers.
