Snam-Hera Modena hydrogen hub gets €19.5mn boost
The Italian firms have received regional government funding, recently unlocked by the EU
Italian energy firms Snam and Hera have received €19.5mn ($21.3mn) in funding—recently unlocked by the European Commission—from the regional government of Emiliano Romagna for a planned green hydrogen hub in Modena, Italy. The IdrogeMO project will produce up to 400t/yr of hydrogen from an electrolyser connected to a 6MW solar farm with battery storage. The project will be sited at an exhausted landfill site, satisfying the requirement for brownfield development to access funding. The cost of the project is estimated to total €20.8mn. 400t/yr – Planned IdrogeMO production capacity “For Snam, IdrogeMO is the first Hydrogen Valley project dedicated to industrial applications and the tr
