Operating review

During 2018, 0.91 billion cubic metres of LNG were regasified at the Panigaglia (SP) LNG terminal (0.63 billion cubic metres in 2017; +0.28 billion cubic metres; +44.4%).

In 2018, 21 methane tanker loads were unloaded (15 in 2017; + 40%).

Organisational changes

As part of the integration of Snam's Italian assets, which began on 01 July 2017, the LNG operational departments strengthened their direct overseeing of the core business of regasification and strengthened the processes whose activities have been centralised with Snam and Snam Rete Gas.

In 2018, as part of the rationalisation and simplification project of Snam's current regulations, 6 new rules were issued, which will simplify and standardise the operative processes.

At end 2018, staff in service were basically in line with 31 December 2017.

In 2018, energy consumption for gas regasification increased by 42%, a rise that is entirely in line with the quantity of gas regasified (+42%). Total nitrogen oxide emissions in 2018 came to 22 tonnes with respect to the 15 in 2017, with a performance in line with the growth of the gas treated. Finally, natural gas emissions have dropped drastically on 2017, going from 1.7 to 1.2 million of m3, due to the greater continuity in the use of the terminal as compared with previous years.
