The HLab will be one of the few labs in Italy that receives energy from renewable sources (photovoltaic) and uses a fuel cell cogeneration system. All new technologies will be carefully studied to identify the most efficient and more attractive for industrial production. The laboratory is expected to become fully operational in 2012 and will focus on research on renewable and alternative energy sources.
The HLab activities will concentrate on:
The lab will have two sections: the one dedicated to photovoltaic and the other dedicated to hydrogen.
The HLab project is developed by the R&D Unit of Hera Group. Its staff will be actively involved in the lab’s research projects supported by Department of Mechanical, Nuclear, Aviation and Metallurgical Engineering of Bologna University.
The CTC Network promotes the accelerated transfer of environmentally sound technologies for low carbon and climate resilient development at the request of developing countries.
