CLEAN-DRONHY

Acronym

CLEAN-DRONHY

Full name

Integrated system for producing, charging and using hydrogen to power a high-performance drone

Partners

Technologies

The key technology that will allow the increase in flight autonomy is linked to the use of hydrogen as an energy vehicle: the energy storage density is significantly higher than that of batteries.

Objective of the project

The main objective of the project is to demonstrate the feasibility of an aircraft (drone) complete with a hydrogen production and refueling station required to operate the vehicle. The project aims to demonstrate the usability and ease of use of the developed vehicle, with improvements over battery-powered drones, especially in terms of aircraft charging time and operating procedures.

RICADUTE PREVISTE SULLA COMPETITIVITÀ DELLE IMPRESE COINVOLTE

The proposal comes from 3 small Piedmontese companies with the intent of developing a new market. The drone sector is constantly evolving and increasing flight autonomy is one of the most discussed topics.

COLLABORAZIONE ATTIVATA, SIA TRA IMPRESE CHE CON ORGANISMI DI RICERCA

To carry out some activities, a collaboration was activated with the Department of Chemistry of the University of Turin.

RUOLO SVOLTO DAL POLO (anche in prospettiva)

In the project development phase, the hub provided all the information needed to build the project.
Upon completion of the project, the hub’s collaboration will be required to organize a series of events to disseminate the results.

MODALITÀ DI DIFFUSIONE DEI RISULTATI

At the end of the project, an event will be organized to disseminate the results of the project. Participation in international trade fairs is also planned. A website dedicated to the final product will be built.
