HydrogER

HydrogER is a strategic project by the Hera Group to develop the first regional Hydrogen Valley network in Emilia-Romagna, connecting two Hydrogen Platforms — Modena and Ravenna — through a dedicated hydrogen pipeline. The project will produce up to 9,000 tons of green hydrogen per year from renewable sources to decarbonize industry and transport, integrating photovoltaic generation, electrolysers, and advanced storage and distribution systems.
