Abstract
In 2026, the nearly concomitant launch of the world's first H2-powered ship in Ancona, the completion of the first green H2 pipeline to refuel some 100 hydrogen electric buses in Venice, the start of large-scale green ammonia production in Saudi Arabia using electrolyzers designed and manufactured in Italy, and the start of Italy's first electrolyzer “gigafactory” near Milan show evidence of the practical relevance of H2 energy technology developed or uptaken in Italy. This study investigates hydrogen energy research in Italy in the bioeconomy era in which energy is sourced from renewable energy sources, and functional substances manufactured by the chemical industry are obtained from biological resources. The conclusions offer several policy lessons that may be of relevance both to policy makers and researchers based in other countries working toward development and commercialization of hydrogen energy technology.
期刊介绍：
Energy Science & Engineering is a peer reviewed, open access journal dedicated to fundamental and applied research on energy and supply and use. Published as a co-operative venture of Wiley and SCI (Society of Chemical Industry), the journal offers authors a fast route to publication and the ability to share their research with the widest possible audience of scientists, professionals and other interested people across the globe. Securing an affordable and low carbon energy supply is a critical challenge of the 21st century and the solutions will require collaboration between scientists and engineers worldwide. This new journal aims to facilitate collaboration and spark innovation in energy research and development. Due to the importance of this topic to society and economic development the journal will give priority to quality research papers that are accessible to a broad readership and discuss sustainable, state-of-the art approaches to shaping the future of energy. This multidisciplinary journal will appeal to all researchers and professionals working in any area of energy in academia, industry or government, including scientists, engineers, consultants, policy-makers, government officials, economists and corporate organisations.
