Articulate a cross-border ecosystem that promotes the emerging value chain around green hydrogen, specifically in its use in sustainable mobility applications (with zero-emission vehicles). This is articulated through the achievement of several specific objectives, which will resolve the following challenges:
- Create a technological and prospective observatory.
- Strengthen the hydrogen value chain and train in technologies.
- Design and develop technological solutions in storage, distribution and use of hydrogen in mobility.
- Validate vehicular hydrogen supply technologies, logistics with hydrogen vehicles and tank filling monitoring
To achieve these goals, ITG will conduct research in the following areas:
- Hydrogen network modeling for the cross-border corridor. Development of a model based on a geographic information system.
- Laboratory study of new electrochemical components and catalysts to improve electrolyzer technology. Laboratory for testing electrolysis solutions.
- Development of modeling techniques for a hydrogen station that allows for infrastructure monitoring. Implement the model in a real hydrogen plant.
