9. Project H2PO
 Concept: the production of
green hydrogen from both
floating photovoltaic panels,
that minimise evaportation
and vertical photovoltaic
panels that collect rainwater,
therefore also optimising the
use of water
 Re-development of disused
quarries
 Storage and distribution of
green H2 by road and by boat
on the River Po
 Creation of new jobs and
development of a new
industrial sector
