Milan-Rome, February 1
st, 2021 - Examining and identifying the best way to supply green hydrogen - produced exclusively using renewable energy - for mobility by rail in Lombardy, as part of the "H2IseO" project. This is the aim of the memorandum of understanding signed by FNM and Enel Green Power. The agreement, signed by FNM Chairman Andrea Gibelli and Enel Green Power CEO Salvatore Bernabei, foresees the establishment of a joint working group tasked with identifying and proposing the most appropriate solutions. The H2IseO project, promoted by FNM in collaboration with Trenord, will make it possible to create the first Italian "Hydrogen Valley" in Lombardy, particularly in Sebino and Valcamonica. The project's main objectives are: the purchase of new hydrogen-powered trains, which, from 2023, will run on the non-electrified Brescia-Iseo-Edolo line, managed by FERROVIENORD (a 100% FNM owned company), to replace the current diesel-powered trains; the construction of hydrogen production facilities powered by renewable energy, initially intended for the new trains.
