UE DIRECTIVE 2014/94/UE on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure:
“minimise dependence on oil and to mitigate the environmental impact of transport”
reduction in the dependence of transport on oil
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from transport
improving air quality and reducing noise in urban areas
enhancing competitiveness and energy security
Italy has adopted the EU Directive with the Decree n.257 (16th December 2016): the National Strategic Plan (Quadro Strategico Nazionale (QSN)) on alternative fuels, includes LNG, compressed NG, electric mobility and Hydrogen Mobility (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles)
Transport accounts for 1/3 of energy demand
(European Environment Agency)
€ 1 billion per day
Crude oil import for transport
in EU-28
(2013)
90% of urban areas population exposed to air pollution levels above limits defined by World Health Organization
Italy is a European Countries with higher dependency from energy import: 76,9%
(2013)

6. Italian Hydrogen Mobility Plan – Key notes
Captive fleets approach:
Balanced design of vehicle fleets/end users and required infrastructures (hydrogen refueling stations).
Sustainable grade of utilization of refueling infrastructure.
Stage approach:
: small fleets (up to 109 cars and 11 buses) with small size hydrogen refueling stations
: big fleets (up to 229 cars and 29 buses) with higher size hydrogen refueling stations
TEN-T Corridors have been considered in designing the possible network of hydrogen refuelling stations
