据天然气工业3月11日新闻消息称，意大利Snam签署了一项协议，将开发液化天然气工厂，为运输和工业提供替代燃料，这是其能源转型计划的一部分。
这家欧洲最大的天然气运输公司表示，已与意大利工业天然气集团SIAD达成协议，将在全球范围内为第三方开发中小型液化天然气工厂。
两家公司表示，与传统工厂相比，将用于液化天然气和沼气的新技术将削减高达30%的成本。
Snam首席执行官Marco Alvera表示:“通过这笔交易，Snam将进入液化基础设施领域，这一领域将成为实现公路、铁路和可能的海上可持续流动性的关键因素，并实现其他能源的脱碳。”
Snam的大部分收入来自意大利的天然气运输，该公司承诺将在新的绿色业务线上投入更多资金，以适应全行业向清洁能源的转型。
与SIAD达成协议的目的是帮助开发LNG作为燃料的供应链，为卡车等重型运输以及能源密集型行业提供动力。
世界上一些国家正在投资液化天然气基础设施，包括沿路加油站，以减少污染柴油的使用。
在意大利，以液化天然气为动力的卡车数量在过去5年里从100辆激增至3000辆左右，而如今加油站的数量约为90辆。
Snam表示，第一个每年5万吨的试点项目将于今年在意大利南部启动，该公司将在那里运营。

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.
