In Rome it is; the first hydrogen refueling station is coming. Yesterday, in fact, it was the Q8 project for the construction of the first hydrogen plant in the capital was presented. The presentation took place. carried out at the service station in Via Ardeatina which was also attended by various representatives of the political world of our country.
THE PROJECT
The project which is part of the Q8 strategy of offering customers a wide range of products, will be; carried out in collaboration with the MAIRE group. Entering more in detail, to date, the filling station located in Via Ardeatina supplies traditional fuels, LPG and methane. In addition, it is A charging service for electric cars is also offered. The plant will be therefore expanded with hydrogen.
The initiative that Q8 is carrying out falls within the scope of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) &ldquo ;Renewable energies, hydrogen, network and mobility; sustainable" and the "experimentation of hydrogen for trucking" funded by the European Union Fund – NextGenerationEU.
As mentioned above, there is a team of collaborators on this project. the MAIRE group which "will act; as an exclusive technological integrator for circular hydrogen, produced in the first waste to hydrogen plant in Italy, which MAIRE is developing in Rome as part of the EU project IPCEI Hy2Use”.
In practice, hydrogen will be produced from non-recyclable waste with a circular approach that will contribute; closing the waste cycle, minimizing CO2 emissions. According to the MAIRE group, circular hydrogen is placed on the market at a decidedly lower cost than green hydrogen produced by electrolysis, thus constituting an already existing solution. feasible today to develop a hydrogen economy on an industrial scale.
However , the partnership between the two companies will go on; well beyond this initiative.
A partnership that is further expanded with the signing of a letter of intent between the two companies with the aim of developing a national supply chain for the production, transport, accumulation and use of renewable products for mobility and mobility. more and more sustainable.
For the hydrogen refueling plant to become operational, it will take more than 100,000 hours to operate. still some time. In fact, the sale to the public will start from 9:00 am. early 2026ahead of the deadlines set by the PNRR. Q8 let it be known that hydrogen will be available. supplied at two different pressures suitable for refueling cars and buses and other means of transport.
For the first year, the estimate of sales amounts to about 14,500 kg in total and growth rates of 40% are expected for the first 5 years, consistent with the estimates of future registrations and with the ability to register. of disbursement for which it is the filling station was designed.
Fadel Al Faraj, CEO of Q8, commented as follows; the presentation of this project:
As an energy company, Q8 is actively contributing to the energy transition process. We are open to all the solutions that technological innovation can provide. to offer, with the aim of serving the mobility of the with energy sources increasingly; sustainable as they become available, creating the refueling network for the multi-energy and multi-service vehicles of the future. And for this reason we firmly believe in the strength of partnerships between stakeholders, both public and private, because only alliances between the various players will make it possible to face global challenges effectively and sustainably and create a better future for all of us.
