Milan, 10 November 2024 – Keydro has concluded a strategic partnership with the Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems (IMM-CNR) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) to realise the Proof of Concept (PoC) of a tank designed to contain hydrogen at room temperature and low pressure.

The defined activity envisages the creation of a special laboratory with dedicated machinery and instrumentation, and mainly three macro-areas of collaboration between IMM-CNR and Keydro:
1. characterisation of filters with nanometric materials,
2. realisation of the accumulation system,
3. release system.

Jacopo Sagramoso, CEO of Keydro stated: “the objective defined with the Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems of the CNR is ambitious and extremely challenging, dealing with complex and frontier subjects. We are aware of the challenge we have undertaken and are convinced that we have created a team with excellent skills that will carry out the work defined.”

Sagramoso added, ’we came to define the project after a careful feasibility and patent prior art study. In IMM-CNR, we have found a partner capable of guaranteeing us an innovative and fertile environment capable of incorporating and improving the proposed innovation. We also have the will to extend the collaboration into the subsequent development phases’.

Fabio Di Pietrantonio, Senior Researcher at IMM-CNR said: ‘The Italian National Research Council (CNR), has in its mission the promotion and development of scientific and technological research. In this context, the joint research contract signed with Keydro aimed at the optimisation of innovative materials for hydrogen storage, with the objective of improving the efficiency, safety and sustainability of emerging technologies in the energy sector.
