Businesses supporting the energy transition

Biomethane

Biomethane is a renewable, flexible, efficient and programmable source that can be injected in existing transportation and storage infrastructures and that integrates perfectly and in a totally complementary way with other renewable sources such as solar and wind power.

Thanks to the work of Snam4Environment, which specialises in the development of biomethane infrastructure, the technical know-how of IES Biogas and the internalisation of new skills through acquisitions of leading companies in the sector, Snam is promoting the spread and use of biomethane throughout Italy, contributing to the creation of value and promoting the energy transition of the country.

Hydrogen

Hydrogen is a versatile gas: it can be used both in industrial applications and in sustainable mobility, it does not emit carbon dioxide or other climate-changing gases, nor does it generate emissions that are harmful to humans and the environment, making it a gas that could have a major impact on achieving decarbonisation targets.

Snam, through its Hydrogen business unit, is active in the hydrogen market thanks to the signing of partnerships and agreements with leading companies in the sector, to the participation in working groups to spread the use of green gas in Europe, and to the ongoing research activities. Of the Snam network, 70% is already hydrogen ready, i.e. ready to accept increasing percentages of hydrogen.

Sustainable mobility

The use and spread of natural gas in the transport sector, both on land and at sea, as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels, is a realistic and concrete solution to combat climate change. Through Snam4Mobility, Snam offers integrated services in the field of “smart green” natural gas mobility, within which it has concluded numerous partnerships and collaborations for the development of infrastructure and the spread of CNG and LNG mobility throughout Italy. Snam is also investing in Small-scale LNG (SSLNG) with the aim of promoting liquid natural gas in sustainable mobility, particularly for rail, maritime and heavy land transport, with a significant reduction in emissions.

Energy efficiency

Maximising energy efficiency by using energy more rationally, reducing consumption and consequently both energy and environmental costs, is a key to promoting decarbonisation and supporting the country’s economic and social development. Through Snam4Efficiency¹ , the Group offers innovative energy efficiency solutions to residential customers, businesses and public administration, investing directly in decarbonisation, digitalisation and distributed energy generation.
