European developments

A wide-ranging debate is ongoing at a European level about the role of gas in the future energy mix and on how new renewable energy (green gas) operators can support the energy transition process.

In 2018, the European Commission launched numerous analyses and studies to identify a package of measures (the so-called 2020 Gas Package) aimed at supporting this process, specifically with the objective of analysing how the gas infrastructures will be capable of accommodating the renewable gases and which regulatory solutions could support their development to the benefit of society as a whole.

Snam has actively taken part in this process making contributions, both through the industry associations to which it belongs (such as ENTSO-G and Gas Infrastructure Europe) and directly, through the development of specific evaluations based on the requests received from the European Commission.
