CRS4 and Italgas have signed a memorandum of understanding for the study and realization in Sardinia of a "Power To Gas" plant, capable of using electricity from renewable sources for the green hydrogen and synthetic methane production. The plant will test the production of gas from renewable sources and its potential use, in order to provide hydrogen to sardinian industrial users and hydrogen and synthetic methane to domestic users, blending it with natural gas, according to certain specifications, and will also be able to use renewable energy excess.
CRS4, together with the Polytechnic of Turin, has conducted an analysis of the territory and the type of regional production realities that are ideal for defining the scenarios for the construction of the pilot plant and will be involved in the infrastructure sizing and engineering phase, as well as during its operation for the measurements to evaluate the production process in energy, technical and environmental terms.
