Making our communities sustainable
The Puglia Hydrogen Valley project refers to the construction of three green hydrogen production plants in Brindisi, Taranto and Cerignola (FG) and involves, alongside Edison and Saipem, some important local players in Puglia, including Acquedotto Pugliese (water), Ferrovie Apulo Lucane (railway), Apulian technology and production districts, Bari Politecnico and Bari, Foggia and Salento Universities.

The project: Puglia Hydrogen Valley
Puglia Hydrogen Valley is the first project to develop green hydrogen in Italy and will make it possible to maximize synergy with surrounding areas and favour the development of the know-how needed to create a local supply chain. The project also applied for EU funding (Ipcei - Important Projects of Common European Interest).
Objectives
The initiative focuses on using green hydrogen to replace fossil fuels in energy-intensive industrial processes and make heavy transport sustainable.
Acceleration of green hydrogen availability
Local sustainability
Decarbonisation of heavy transport
Edison NEXT’s solution
Green hydrogen is a key technology for Edison and Italy, development plan. The green hydrogen production plant to be built in Brindisi will employ electrolysers with a capacity of 60 Mw fed by a dedicated photovoltaic park.

Targeted results
Our participation in the project is geared to achieving ambitious objectives in line with European decarbonisation goals, moving towards a carbon-free future.

of normal cubic metres of renewable hydrogen a year

Promotion of local resources
use by part of Puglia’s industries, mobility and local gas network

24% green hydrogen’s share of demand
According to the Hydrogen Roadmap Europe Report, representing 17 European industries and organizations, green hydrogen could account for as much as 24% of total end-user demand by 2050.
