The HyAccelerator is Snam’s unique international program to boost ideas, innovators and technologies that will lead the hydrogen revolution towards a sustainable future
Vision
Snam aims to drive the energy transition and empower disruptive ideas and intrepid innovators.
Through the HyAccelerator, we intend to shape the hydrogen value chain of the future and deliver the most advanced hydrogen deep technologies to the world
Mission
The HyAccelerator supports startups and entrepreneurs with breakthrough ideas in the hydrogen ecosystem. The program entails access to Snam’s Hydrogen Innovation Center, a worldwide network of research hubs intertwining our core business competencies in energy systems with cutting-edge research and facilities from academic partners
HyAccelerator Program
The HyAccelerator launches periodical Call4Startup on hydrogen-related focus areas. Snam selects a limited number of startups to be invited to the HyAccelerator program, benefiting from mentoring and technical, economic and legal support for their entrepreneurial development
Call4Startup
Apply before the deadline to be amongst the first selected startups to access the HyAccelerator program!
HyAccelerator Program
Selected candidates from the Call4Startup will be invited to join Snam on a fast track to deliver a feasibility study for a First Industrial Deployment
Demo-day
After the acceleration period, you will be presenting your progress to a Snam extended audience to demonstrate the feasibility of your solution
Post-acceleration
After the acceleration period, Snam proposes to the selected startups either a go-to-market strategy or to continue the joint development of the proposed solution
Focus Areas
Production
Producing hydrogen on a large scale is crucial for the success of the Energy Transition. Technology development for low carbon hydrogen is essential, as well as progress in terms of costs and technology performance
Transportation
Asset readiness for the transportation of hydrogen is the key to establish a full hydrogen economy. Optimization and innovation of traditional transportation requires novel materials for hydrogen-ready systems, cost-effective solutions for the separation of hydrogen from natural gas blends and many other disruptive solutions
Storage
Storage technology enhancement is fundamental to allow the deployment of hydrogen in the power and transportation sectors. Improving efficiency and identifying low-cost storage solutions could result in a substantial boost to the hydrogen economy
Industry end-use
Enhanced and innovative technological low-carbon solutions are necessary to bring hydrogen to industrial users. To open the path for deep decarbonization, the role of stationary fuel cells or other alternative technologies for end-use of hydrogen is crucial in hard-to-abate sectors
Mobility end-use
Development and deployment of hydrogen fuel cells will be a key enabler of zero emission mobility. A dedicated refuelling infrastructure and local storage is also needed to ensure safe and cost-effective transition to hydrogen-based mobility
