00:00What is F&M?
00:04For F&M it's a win-win. We started six years ago with an idea,
00:10today it has become a project that has become a standard not only for Italy,
00:15but for the whole of Europe and we are proud that this is happening in Lombardy.
00:19Let's call it a formal reunion between the train and its part, let's say hidden,
00:26which is the infrastructure on which we are very proud because it is our project,
00:31to build a series of plants for the production, storage and distribution of hydrogen,
00:39which is unique as a model at the European level.
00:42Being an innovative technology, it is not very easy to make predictions,
00:46we believe that in a year, ASFISA will complete its security and service work.
00:54Today it is in the hands of the agency.
00:57In 2019 there was no PNRR, there was no European hydrogen strategy.
01:04However, we compared all the technologies in absolutely neutral terms.
01:10The first candidate was electrification, but it involved the construction of the chains
01:16and therefore to redo 110 km of line that would have cost around 450 million euros.
01:23We have zeroed this voice.
01:26It could be zeroed with batteries, but being on a slope, batteries are not efficient
01:32and then there was a big load problem.
01:35Hydrogen, on the other hand, was a technology that was the most reliable for a mountainous area.
01:45After six years, we believe that we have been further strengthened in this conviction.
