Power Parks: a new paradigm for Clean Energy and Sustainable Mobility

This project aims at creating an energy park in the suburbs of Bari (Italy). This energy district is located in an area devoted to social housing and close to some significant energy users (airport, hospital, etc.). The use of combined heat and power would allow to produce on-site electricity at low cost and it would allow to benefit of the heat produced from the generation process. The on-site production of hydrogen is implemented to push hydrogenbased public transportation by buses and shuttles. The integration of cogeneration/trigeneration with hydrogen steam reforming is the best practice we propose here. The heat from the exhausted gases of gas turbines is exploited to generate steam utilized in the Hydrogen Steam Reformer. Moreover, the rational use of energy and sustainable urban mobility makes, more comfortable, the living and working spaces, and also it makes more attractive new business in a social housing district.
