ANCONA – Three production sites from renewable sources in as many abandoned industrial areas. Objective: produce 464 tonnes of green hydrogen per year – especially through photovoltaics – to contribute to decarbonisation and energy efficiency in the Marche region.
The objective
It is with this mission that the three hydrogen valleys in Fano, Falconara and Offida will be created, financed with 36.2 million euros in total. The energy will be used for various uses, including public buses, shipping and regional industries. «The added value – explains Energy Councilor Andrea Antonini – will materialize not only in the decarbonisation of the economy, starting that process of gradual reconversion of the industrial and transport sector from the use of fossil to renewable sources, but also in the possibility to redevelop areas of the territory that have long been degraded and polluted”. The results must be achieved by 30 June 2026, as per the Pnrr road map.
The areas
The three disused industrial areas on which the green hydrogen production sites will be built, distributed homogeneously across the regional territory, are located in the industrial area of Bellocchi di Fano (PU), where the project will be handled by the company Energie Techfem, l the former Montedison of Falconara (AN), with Rti Renco in charge of the construction, and the former Cpm in the Municipality of Offida (AP) entrusted to Esdigis 4U. The Marche region thus contributes to the pursuit of the Pnrr target of providing Italy with at least 10 hydrogen production projects with an average capacity of 1-5 mW by 2026, in the context of the broader European hydrogen strategy for a climate-neutral EU by 2050. «The production of green hydrogen will also have an important impact on local public transport – underlines Tpl councilor Goffredo Brandoni – a sector hit first by the pandemic and then by the energy crisis». The green transition takes its first steps.
