(ANSA) – MILAN, FEBRUARY 15 – Airbus, Snam and Save have signed a memorandum of understanding to promote hydrogen as a “sustainable energy vector” in the airport sector and in air transport. It can be read in a note explaining that the three companies will share a “common strategy with the aim of contributing to reducing the emission of greenhouse gases linked to airport activity” starting from the Marco Polo airport in Venice, managed by Save. The collaboration between the companies will be divided into several areas, starting from future needs and technological options, leading “to the identification of technical and implementation solutions that will be tested through pilot projects and then subsequently extended on a large scale” explain the companies.
