據(jù)天然氣工業(yè)3月11日新聞消息稱，意大利Snam簽署了一項協(xié)議，將開發(fā)液化天然氣工廠，為運輸和工業(yè)提供替代燃料，這是其能源轉型計劃的一部分。

這家歐洲最大的天然氣運輸公司表示，已與意大利工業(yè)天然氣集團SIAD達成協(xié)議，將在全球范圍內為第三方開發(fā)中小型液化天然氣工廠。

兩家公司表示，與傳統(tǒng)工廠相比，將用于液化天然氣和沼氣的新技術將削減高達30%的成本。

Snam首席執(zhí)行官Marco Alvera表示:“通過這筆交易，Snam將進入液化基礎設施領域，這一領域將成為實現(xiàn)公路、鐵路和可能的海上可持續(xù)流動性的關鍵因素，并實現(xiàn)其他能源的脫碳。”

Snam的大部分收入來自意大利的天然氣運輸，該公司承諾將在新的綠色業(yè)務線上投入更多資金，以適應全行業(yè)向清潔能源的轉型。

與SIAD達成協(xié)議的目的是幫助開發(fā)LNG作為燃料的供應鏈，為卡車等重型運輸以及能源密集型行業(yè)提供動力。

世界上一些國家正在投資液化天然氣基礎設施，包括沿路加油站，以減少污染柴油的使用。

在意大利，以液化天然氣為動力的卡車數(shù)量在過去5年里從100輛激增至3000輛左右，而如今加油站的數(shù)量約為90輛。

Snam表示，第一個每年5萬噸的試點項目將于今年在意大利南部啟動，該公司將在那里運營。

Italy's Snam inks deal to develop LNG plants for transport, industry

Italy’s Snam signed a deal to develop liquefied natural gas plants to provide alternative fuel for transport and industry as part of its energy transition drive.

Europe’s biggest gas transporter said it had agreed with Italian industrial gas group SIAD to develop small- and medium-sized LNG plants for third parties on a global scale.

The new technology that will be used to liquefy natural gas and biogas will cut costs by up to 30% compared to traditional plants, the two companies said.

“With this deal, Snam enters liquefaction infrastructure, a sector that will be a key enabler for sustainable mobility by road, rail and potentially sea, and decarbonising other energy uses,” Snam CEO Marco Alvera said.

Snam, which makes most of its revenue from gas transport in Italy, has pledged to spend more on new green business lines to position itself for an industry-wide transition to cleaner energy.

The aim of the deal with SIAD is to help develop the supply chain for the use of LNG as fuel to power heavy transport like trucks as well as energy-intensive industries.

Some countries round the world are investing in LNG infrastructure, including fuelling stations along roads, as a way of cutting the use of polluting diesel fuel.

In Italy, the number of LNG-powered trucks has surged in the past 5 years to around 3,000 from 100 and filling stations are today around 90.

Snam said a first 50,000-ton-per-year pilot project would be launched this year in southern Italy, which it will operate.
