Self sustainable H2 public Transport

The proposed project aims to transform the urban mobility landscape of Civitavecchia by introducing a fleet of hydrogen-powered buses. This initiative will leverage the locally produced hydrogen from the developing Hydrogen Valley at the Civitavecchia Interport, aligning with the city's broader strategy to enhance sustainability and reduce carbon emissions.
The town will use the energy generated form public owned PV ( or from energy coomunities) to generate H2 leveraging the shared infrastructure

Civitavecchia, Europe's largest cruise port and the fifth largest in the world, intends to establish a Low Emission Zone (ZTL) to improve the city's livability for both residents and tourists. The introduction of hydrogen-powered buses will serve as a critical component of this strategy, providing a clean and efficient public transport solution within the ZTL and the surrounding areas. Furthermore, the buses will facilitate a new shuttle service connecting Civitavecchia with La Frasca, a nearby natural monument recently designated by the Lazio Region, thereby promoting sustainable tourism and accessibility to this protected area.

The project also incorporates the development of two green, energy-autonomous stations for light urban vehicles, such as electric and hydrogen-powered bicycles and scooters. These stations will be strategically placed within the ZTL to ensure seamless integration with the public transport network. The vehicles will be managed by the municipality and allocated to students from a high school located within the ZTL, prioritizing those living in the city's more remote areas. This initiative will support students' daily commuting needs while promoting sustainable mobility options.
