Professor Massimo Santarelli brings to light H2020 project REMOTE, which has developed innovative hybrid storage systems using green hydrogen

The increase of renewable energy sources (RES) in the EU’s energy mix is one of the lynchpins of the European actions towards meeting the climate targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The integration of RES is challenging in remote areas, where it goes together with the need of ensuring daily and seasonal electricity storage. Indeed, remote locations may not be connected to electricity grids or may have unreliable connections and rely on diesel-powered generators as a backup when local renewable energy is scarce.

However, diesel is a pollutant, and delivering it to remote locations is expensive. Aiming to help remote locations become energy self-sufficient and contribute to the EU’s goals, the H2020 project REMOTE has developed innovative hybrid storage systems based on batteries and green hydrogen to ensure the needs of renewable-powered remote communities. The aim of the project is to design, deploy and demonstrate this concept in three different remote sites in Europe for a total installed power output of 250 kW. To achieve this goal, REMOTE brings together 14 partners, from industrial providers to final users, research centres and academic institutions, coordinated by Politecnico di Torino (Italy) to demonstrate the viability and reliability of hydrogen-based hybrid energy storage.
