SCORES representatives from RINA-C will introduce our project during the seminar "General-States on Hydrogen and fuel cells - The role of hydrogen in the energy transition and mobility" tomorrow at Polytechnic University of Milan (Italy).
The use of hydrogen is becoming increasingly widespread in the whole world. Despite the full compatibility of these technologies with the Italian energy system, their diffusion is still limited in Italy. What are the technological, economic and legislative barriers that prevent its rapid development also in Italy? General States Hydrogen and Fuel Cells 2018 will discuss this topic with the world of research, industry, and institutions, in light of Italy's recent adhesion to the " Hydrogen Initiative " of the European Union.
SCORES consortium met at the General Assembly meeting after 12 months of the project in Baden-Baden (Germany) from 6th to 8th November 2018. They had a chance to discuss the project progress and plans for the next six-month period.
Coordinator of the project also appreciated the partners from Heliopac for a great representation of the project during the ECTP conference, where their system HELIOPACSYSTEM+, also used in the SCORES project, was awarded as one of the most promising technologies.
Our partners from Heliopac will participate in the ECTP conference on the 13th of November in Brussels and give a brief presentation in the EeB session about the SCORES project.
Their technology heliopacsystem+ has been selected as one of the “most promising technologies arising from the EeB cPPP project” in the Lighting and HVAC category. The session starts at 14:45 in the Amphitheater "Studio".
