CHyAO - Comprehensive Hydrogen Applications On island

The project aims at developing a comprehensive feasibility study to foster the green hydrogen (GH2) uptake in small islands, with a special focus on the Italian context. GH2 is foreseen as the main future energy vector able to couple multiple sectors with a strong decarbonizing effect.
Being an innovative topic, GH2 is almost unknown to small municipalities and new energy policies must be defined from scratch. CHyAO’s objective is to fill this knowledge gap addressing GH2 use in islands, especially in the transport sector as an effective measure against pollution.
To kick off the GH2 use, a new attraction for the island will be investigated: a GH2 scooter sharing service, the first of its kind in Italy.
