SH2AMROCK – POLITO Contribution

The Department of Energy at Politecnico di Torino is involved in SH2AMROCK activities, focusing on scaling hydrogen demand and supply, as well as collaborating with project partners to identify roadmaps for enhanced hydrogen integration into the energy system. The research analyzes end-user applications in energy, industry, and mobility through detailed techno-economic assessments of value chains and interconnecting infrastructure. It explores hydrogen supply strategies, process layouts, and potential synergies to enhance sustainability through end-use clustering. Additionally, the study examines key infrastructure for domestic hydrogen supply and its connection to international corridors.”

	Pierluigi Leone, PhD, is a full professor at the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Torino and member of the Energy Center Lab. The most relevant research area is in the field of renewable gases, hydrogen and biomethane, and their integration into the energy system with a major focus on enabling infrastructures and final use in industrial and transport sectors. He has managed several international capacity building and cooperation projects with African and Asian countries focusing on renewable energy integration and energy infrastructure. He will contribute in Sh2amrock in scaling up and roadmap studies for hydrogen in the Irish energy sector.
	Jamshid Yakhshilikov is a PhD student in the Department of Energy at Politecnico di Torino, specializing in energy modeling. His research focuses on fuel consumption trends, energy projections, and policy strategies to advance sustainable mobility. By integrating quantitative modeling and scenario analysis, he aims to provide decision-makers with insights for developing energy-efficient and low-emission transportation policies. He will contribute in Sh2amrock with an assessment of roadmap to integrate hydrogen into the Irish transport sector.
	Luisa Di Francesco obtained her Master’s degree in Energy and Nuclear Engineering from Politecnico di Torino in 2023 with a thesis about modelling and simulation of the German gas transmission network with hydrogen blending in collaboration with Forschungszentrum Jülich. She is currently a PhD student in Energetics at Politecnico di Torino. Her research focuses on the integration of renewable gases (hydrogen) into natural gas transmission and distribution networks at the European level. She will contribute in Sh2amrock with an assessment of required hydrogen infrastructure in scaling up scenario of hydrogen supply and demand.
	Marco Cavana is an assistant professor at the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Torino from where he obtained his PhD on the modelling of multi-gas network for the integration of renewable gases. In his post-doc he participated in several industrial research collaborations concerning techno-economic analysis and business models of renewable hydrogen production plants, focusing on the regulatory framework too. He recently participated as the scientific advisor in the design and techno-economic feasibility of projects on green hydrogen production and deployment. He will contribute in Sh2amrock in scaling up and roadmap studies for hydrogen in the Irish energy sector.
