Eni, Snam to build 14 natural gas fuelling stations in Italy

Eni and Snam have signed the first contract implementing the framework agreement signed on May 2017 for the development of methane service stations in Italy.



Last update:

The 20-year contract lays out the plan for the construction and maintenance of a first batch of 14 new CNG (compressed natural gas) plants by Snam within Eni’s national network of service stations, favouring the supply of low-emission alternative fuels such as methane.

Natural gas eliminates particulate matter, the most polluting element in urban areas, and offers significant economic advantages to customers, according to Eni.

Snam will receive an amount estimated between 20 and 40 million euro from Eni for its services.

The contract is part of Snam’s initiatives for sector operators and aims to promote sustainable mobility. It includes an investment of 150 million euro to roll-out up to 300 new CNG and L-CNG (liquefied-compressed natural gas) service stations which will support the development and more balanced distribution of natural gas fuelling stations in different regions across the country

Eni seeks to further strengthen its offer for sustainable mobility through this initiative. Approximately 1,000 of Eni’s stations currently supply LPG and methane (including 2 LNG and 180 CNG), while the remaining 3,500 deliver Eni Diesel+, its premium diesel with 15% renewable content produced from vegetal oils at its Venice biorefinery.
