LIFE3H

The project will demonstrate new transport solutions to increase air quality by reducing emissions, facilitate mobility, economic growth & environmental sustainability in urban and natural areas.

The sites for setting up the Hydrogen Valley are:

• The historical City of Terni (near to one of the biggest Italian steel plant)
• Port of Civitavecchia (with millions of tourists per year and a historical port)
• Altopiano delle Rocche (with ski resorts and part of the Regional Park SirenteVelino)

LIFE3H specific objectives are:

• Build up the first 3 Italian HVs laying the basis of one transregional HV.
• Develop common & sustainable road Local Public Transport mobility.
• Implement integrated local policies & regulatory approaches for widespread deployment of Hydrogen Refuelling Stations and Fuel Cell vehicles.
• Increase circular economy by storing and using H2 waste from local industries like steel mills and chlorine-soda plants.
• Create a standard smart sustainable mobility management system.
• Develop an Hydrogen Valley implementation strategy allowing future expansion in the project sites and replication in other sites.
• Raise citizens’ awareness & improving policy commitment to spread sustainable hydrogen-based mobility and improve air quality at sites of high historical, environmental and archaeological value.

LIFE3H is coordinated by Regione Abruzzo with a partnership composed by a balanced mix of Public Bodies, Research
Institutions, Industrial Partners and Consultancies. The project has a totalcost of 6,339,853 € of which 2,978,671 €
