Italian Drivers to Have More Gas Stations
Italy, home to Europe's biggest fleet of natural gas vehicles, is to have even more filling stations following an agreement between Tamoil and pipeline operator Snam, the latter said March 20.
The agreement will see Tamoil and Snam collaborate on the design, construction, maintenance and operation of four compressed natural gas plants and one liquefied and compressed natural gas plant within Tamoil’s national distributors network.

The contract is part of Snam’s initiative to boost the growth of the CNG and LNG distribution network in Italy, through direct investment and agreements with other operators in the sector.
Italy has about 1mn natural-gas vehicles on the road and over 1,300 service stations. Snam is also investing in the development of biomethane, a zero-CO2 renewable gas produced from urban and agricultural waste.
