Extending the H2SCORE concept beyond Quarona

The replication studies explore how the H2SCORE concept can be adapted and transferred to different local energy systems beyond the demonstration site in Quarona (Italy).

Feasibility Assessment

Evaluate the technical, economic, environmental, and social feasibility of hydrogen‑based long‑duration storage across diverse community settings.

Local Conditions Analysis

Examine renewable mixes, demand profiles, and climatic constraints to understand how local factors shape system design and operation.

Flexibility & Resilience

Assess how hydrogen can enhance flexibility, resilience, and security of supply, especially in constrained, off‑grid, or weak‑grid environments.

Optimal System Design

Define suitable configurations and sizing strategies for electrolysers, hydrogen storage solutions, and fuel cells across different applications.

Stakeholder Support

Provide scenario modelling, techno‑economic assessments, and qualitative insights to guide informed decision‑making for local stakeholders.

H2 in Remote Canadian Communities

Assess the feasibility of hydrogen in northern remote communities by examining off‑grid conditions, harsh climate challenges, and logistical constraints to reduce fossil‑fuel reliance and improve long‑term energy autonomy.
