Propose your H2 project
The HyAccelerator’s open process to develop solutions in the hydrogen ecosystem
Application opens in
The initiative
The “Propose your H2 project” initiative of the HyAccelerator, is an open process for startups, SMEs and individuals in the hydrogen sector that aim to develop and boost their solution. The call is open continuously in time, and, following their application, selected subjects will be admitted to an acceleration process which consists in designing a First Industrial Deployment together with Snam. The proposed solution shall be in one of the of the five focus areas described below
Candidates will be asked to register on SnamInnova - Snam’s Open Innovation program - and submit their personal data, information about the proposed solution and a pitch presentation. Each proposed solution will be evaluated by Snam’s team of hydrogen experts and the most promising candidates will be selected to be accelerated
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
Why Take Part
The selected participants will be provided with the necessary tools and perks to develop a First Industrial Deployment design in collaboration with Snam, without investment in equity. These include funds, mentoring from Snam hydrogen professionals and support from academic experts. Furthermore, by entering Snam’s network, startups will have the opportunity to get in touch with industry pioneers in the field of the Energy Transition
