The Wine Train
Developing green territorial boulevards
Further expanding the existing rail infrastructure means unwanted impact on the local environment. Building large H2 storage units with modular, balloon-shaped containers, and placing them above train stations is cheap and convenient for the easy recharging of Hydrail fuel cells.
Translucent clouds of strong fireproof ETFE modules with light octahedron carbon nanotube structure, act as iconic vertical landmarks in a mostly flat agricultural territory. Fitting these H2 containers with flexible PV film + tensioned anchoring cables with piezoelectric generators will result in more energy output.
The Avellino-Benevento area might also develop its regional brand as Italy’s most sustainable wine country, making use of the iconic Hydrail network to also encourage cultural tourism along symbolic Green Boulevards powered by locally produced hydrogen, in a seamless intertwining of tradition and innovation.
