De Nora's Gigafactory: Pioneering Green Hydrogen in Italy
Key Ideas
  • De Nora's subsidiary in Italy, DNIHT, has begun constructing the Gigafactory, set to be Italy's largest electrolyzer production hub with a capacity of up to 2GW by 2030.
  • The project, part of De Nora's expansion plan, is funded by EUR 32 million secured through a concession decree and may receive up to EUR 63 million to support green hydrogen initiatives.
  • The Gigafactory's focus on sustainability and innovation aligns with the European Green Deal, aiming to reduce electrolyzer production costs and contribute to Europe's energy transition.
  • Located near Milan, the Gigafactory is expected to create around 200 direct jobs and 2,000 induced employment opportunities, fostering economic growth in the region.
De Nora's Italian subsidiary, DNIHT, has initiated the construction of a Gigafactory in Cernusco sul Naviglio, Italy, which is poised to be the country's largest electrolyzer production hub with a projected capacity of 2GW by 2030. The groundbreaking ceremony marked the beginning of the construction of a modern facility spanning 25,000 square meters, aiming to serve as a primary hub for green hydrogen generation and other sustainable technologies. This project, supported by funding of EUR 32 million and potential additional support of EUR 63 million, aims to reduce electrolyzer production costs and contribute to Europe's energy transition goals, in line with the European Green Deal. The Gigafactory's emphasis on sustainability and innovation is highlighted by its modern industrial architecture focused on low environmental impact. Its strategic importance internationally is underscored by its role in facilitating the achievement of sustainability goals. The location of the Gigafactory near Milan is expected to boost local economic growth by creating direct and induced employment opportunities. By fostering around 200 direct jobs and 2,000 induced employment opportunities, the Gigafactory is set to be completed by late 2025 or early 2026, aligning with the broader efforts towards decarbonization and green hydrogen production.
