The Hydrogen Joint Research Platform (Hydrogen JRP), created by Fondazione Politecnico di Milano, together with Politecnico di Milano and three founding companies, Edison, Eni and Snam, will promote innovative studies and research in several areas: the production of clean hydrogen, which includes green hydrogen and low carbon hydrogen; associated transport solutions and advanced storage systems; innovative electrochemical and thermal applications for domestic and industrial use and in transport systems; and the development of best practices in the design and construction of hydrogen transport and storage infrastructure.

This launch event, included in the schedule of Innovation House and planned at the same time in Milano and Dubai, will be an opportunity to interact with important stakeholders, at national and international level, involved in this new university-company joint research platform set up to study and develop an energy vector capable of playing a decisive role in the achievement of global climate objectives, i.e. hydrogen.
