Clust-ER Greentech multiplies innovation opportunities through
a collaborative approach focusing his activity in R&D strategic
sectors. Together with the Technopoles and the High Technology
Network laboratories, they are one of the key players in
the regional innovation ecosystem.

The H2 and Power-to-gas working group is part of the
abovementioned LCE value chain, committed to the achievement
of the cluster Strategic Objective “Development of the biofuels,
e-fuels and hydrogen supply chain”. This challenge includes the
development and optimization of biogas upgrading processes,
systems for the production and distribution of alternative fuels,
components for the treatment of gas mixtures containing CH4, CO2,
H2. The topics of interest include electrolysis for the production of
hydrogen, the development of technologies for the optimization of
alternative fuel production processes, such as methanation or the
synthesis of methanol or jet fuels, starting from H and CO or from
the gasification of residual biomass. Furthermore, the supply chain
also includes hydrogen production and storage technologies and
applications with fuel cells or in advanced thermodynamic cycles.
In this catalogue, the 53 GREENTECH members which actively
contribute to the H2 regional ecosystem are hereafter introduced
and grouped into:

• H2 Production
• H2 Storage, transport & distribution
• H2 Use
• Integrated operators & developer
• Research & Innovation Centers (including the research centres and laboratories accredited into the “Emilia Romagna High Technology Network” - E-R HTN, a network that brings together academic institutions, innovation hubs and public research centres present in the regional territory)
• Networks and others
