The Piemonte H2 System goals

• To promote hydrogen as a clean carrier
  alternative to fossil fuels
• To help the growth of a regional hydrogen
  infrastructure and industry
• To sustain and address the research on focused
  hydrogen technologies
• To promote technology transfer between
  laboratories and private companies
• To promote the establishment of new companies and
  spin offs
• To exploit the specific know how of traditional
  (ICT, automotive, etc) companies within the
  growing Piemonte H2 industry
• To support the hydrogen and renewable related
  technologies in the pre-competitive phase
• To reduce the existing gap between research and
  industry on hydrogen technologies

The Piemonte H2 Industry
In addition to the start- ups the Piemonte H2
System is made by several established companies
providing each other specific /high value
know-how, components, technologies and
products. Their cooperation with the HYSYLAB and
other Laboratories speeds up the process of
technology development of the whole Piemonte
industry. The list of such companies includes,
among others
