UNIMORE (Università degli studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia) is an historical university which have their main offices in Modena and Reggio Emilia, and a branch in Mantova. In March 2022, UNIMORE established the new “Interdepartmental Centre for Research and Services in the field of Hydrogen Production, Storage and Utilisation” (H2-MO.RE). The Centre promotes and coordinates interdisciplinary studies and research in the field of hydrogen production, storage, transport and utilisation. Within the coordination of H2-MO.RE, several departments will be involved: the Department of Economics which will work on techno-economic analysis along the H2 value-chain and with FBK on simulations; the Department of Science and Methods for Engineering which owns a specialised tool for Lifecycle Analysis and working on Environmental Impact Analysis together with the CNR IIA; the Department of Engineering which will work on the planning of research and didactic activities and for preparing MSCA proposal for funds; and the Department of Physics Informatics and Mathematics developing the Digital Twin model and didactic activities. They’ll all be working on planning the new Applied R&I Hydrogen Hub with FBK to define a sustainable business plan and educational programme for the Hub.
