ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF PLANTS FOR OBTAINING ENERGY FROM HYDROGEN

To meet the needs of decarbonisation of the economy and the implementation of the Italian PNRR, hydrogen appears to be a current and convenient source for obtaining energy. The paper tries to evaluate some pilot projects located in the Sicily region from an economic and environmental point of view. After analyzing the Sicilian energy plan, the project carried out by a collaboration with two companies is described, of which a technical and economic analysis is carried out, highlighting the economic and environmental advantages of the pilot plant. This experimental project can allow cooperating companies to test the idea on an industrial scale, to enhance the Sicilian competitive environment and make technological innovations for the generation, storage and transport of green hydrogen in the Sicilian region, a hub for hydrogen clean consists of a regional network consisting of the production, the end use and the connection infrastructure necessary to produce and transport clean hydrogen in a functional regional market
