Empowering Sustainability: IMI's Contribution to Italy's Green Hydrogen Future
Key Ideas
- IMI supplied a 2MW PEM electrolyser for the Hydrogen Valley project in Lamezia Terme, Italy, set to produce 400 Nm³/h of green hydrogen at 40 barg.
- The project includes hydrogen storage and compression systems, a loading bay for distribution, and aims to create a replicable model for local hydrogen production and use in Italy.
- The IMI VIVO electrolyser, with high energy efficiency, is central to the project and aligns with Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan's energy consumption thresholds.
- The collaboration between IMI, Techfem, and Teca Gas signifies a strong partnership driving sustainable change, with the facility expected to be operational by June 30, 2026.
IMI, a specialist engineering company, has provided a 2MW PEM electrolyser for the Hydrogen Valley project in Lamezia Terme, Italy. The project, located on the site of a former industrial complex, aims to produce 400 Nm³/h of green hydrogen at 40 barg. Following the preliminary design phase, Techfem was awarded the EPC contract for the project, encompassing the executive design and full construction of the facility. The project includes hydrogen storage, compression systems, and a loading bay for hydrogen distribution. The IMI VIVO electrolyser, known for its high energy efficiency, will be manufactured in Sardinia and is crucial to the project's success. The initiative seeks to establish a model for local hydrogen production and usage within Italy, in line with EU guidelines. The collaboration between IMI, Techfem, and Teca Gas emphasizes the importance of strong partnerships in driving sustainable change. The facility is expected to be operational by June 30, 2026, contributing significantly to the decarbonization of Italy's energy system.
