The construction of 5 hydrogen refueling stations has begun, an intervention for which Milano Serravalle Engineering is responsible for construction management!
The "SerraHydrogenValle" project by Milano Serravalle – Milano Tangenziali S.p.A., worth over 55 million euros and co-financed with European funds from the CEF (Connecting Europe Facility), aims to establish a coordinated network of hydrogen refueling points across the network under concession, contributing to the progressive decarbonization of road mobility.
In Lombardy, the refueling stations will be located within the service areas of Rho, Carugate Est, and Carugate Ovest, situated on the Milan ring roads. In Piedmont, they will be located in the Tortona Est and Tortona Ovest service areas on the A7, strategically positioned halfway along the freight route connecting Milan with the Port of Genoa, along the TEN-T Rhine-Alpine corridor.
The service areas will be equipped with the most advanced technologies to ensure various hydrogen refueling options in line with the strictest European standards, including:
- 700 bar refueling for light vehicles;
- 350 bar refueling for both heavy and light vehicles;
- 350 bar high flow (HF) refueling for heavy vehicles, particularly freight vehicles and buses.
Regarding the capacity of the stations, Milano Serravalle has designed each service area to be able to supply at least 1.0 ton of hydrogen per day (1.0 tonH2/day or 1000 kgH2/day) at the start and, later, to meet the expected growing demand for hydrogen, to double the dispensing capacity to over 2.0 tonH2/day (in line with the National Hydrogen Strategy for distribution with a distance of 100 km between stations).
The future is here!
