SIRIUS
THE SIRIUS PROJECT LED BY HYTER IS AMONG THE WINNERS OF THE MITE CALL FOR PROPOSALS ON HYDROGEN RESEARCH
Hyter was recently awarded one of MiTE’s calls for tenders with the Sirius project, which involves the construction within three years of the world’s first electrolyser with a size greater than one megawatt based on AEMWE technology, Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyser.
The Department of Chemical Sciences of the University of Padua and MatRes will carry out the research activities aimed at improving the performance of specific components (the catalyst cells), exploiting new nanostructured materials that are also conducive to a lower environmental impact compared to those currently in use. The project will be completed by INRETE Distribuzione Energia with the construction of the experimental industrial site for hydrogen utilisation.
INRETE Distribuzione Energia S.p.A. manages the activity of natural gas and electricity distribution mainly in the Emilia Romagna region with the distribution of gas in 143 municipalities, plus 3 in Tuscany, and of electricity in 24 municipalities.
MBN Nanomaterialia operates on the promotion of innovative high-tech materials and on production of customer-specific product solutions.
