Hydrogen for residential use, a 13 million joint venture between e-Novia and Sit-Corriere.it

A joint venture for an innovative hydrogen generation and storage system for residential use. This is the goal of Hybitat, a company born from the partnership between e-Novia – a group that finances research with the aim of giving birth to real companies -, and Sit, a company active in residential heating and air conditioning systems, with a initial investment of 13 million euros The Board of Directors will be made up of five directors, including Vincenzo Russi, managing director and co-founder of e-Novia, and Federico de’ Stefani, president and managing director of Sit. director of Enel, was appointed Chairman of Hybitat.We believe that storage will quickly become the most efficient way to provide homes with the clean energy necessary for the operation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems – comments de’ Stefani – In e-Novia we have found a partner who shares the same objectives, with strong systemic innovation skills SIT contributes to the project with recognized know-how in the field of hydrogen management and a multi-year track record on heating, ventilation and air conditioning. It is therefore an integration of skills at the service of the energy transition, to combat climate change starting from our daily lives.

For a more sustainable economy

E-Novia is committed to sustainable mobility using the group’s resources, from the development of new generation vehicles to the production of energy for their propulsion: the collaboration with Sit complements our ability to develop innovative solutions with their expertise in resource management energy in order to facilitate the local and residential availability of sustainable energy – says Russi -. With this initiative, e-Novia wants to extend its coverage of the new mobility supply chain. The goal is to respond to the new challenges of sustainable mobility which see a growing and unpredictable demand for energy. Electricity storage is in fact a crucial element for creating a more sustainable economy: by 2040 the total potential market for Long-lasting energy storage (large energy storage facilities capable of storing renewable energy until needed) could represent the equivalent of 10% of all electricity consumed, rising from 1.5 to 2.5 TW of global capacity. Furthermore, according to Deloitte studies, the green hydrogen market will reach a turnover of 1.4 trillion dollars by 2050, supplying 25% of the world’s energy needs. In Italy alone, according to the Anie Federation, there are 1,221,045 solar plants as of 2022, of which more than 86% are of the residential type with a power of less than 12 kW. The total number of photovoltaic systems installed in 2022 corresponds to 25,048 MW of power; the Italian objective for 2030, set by the SEN6 plan, is to reach 40,000 MW of power deriving from photovoltaic plants.
