Country
Italy

TH2ICINO (Towards H2ydrogen Integrated eConomies In NOrthern Italy) aims to develop an Airport-centered Hydrogen Valley at Malpensa, integrating a 5MW PEM electrolyzer for hydrogen production and distribution via truck. The project focuses on Hydrogen utilization in different sectors such as industry and ground mobility in airport context, developing also a Master Planning Tool (MPT) to financially derisk hydrogen projects and support expansion and replication across Italy and the EU.​
