Italy: Snam opens the first CNG/LNG refueling station in Pesaro
The new facility offers CNG and LNG and is the first of its kind in Pesaro, Italy. It is managed by Acema and is also Snam4Mobility’s first LNG station. With this opening, attended by the Mayor Matteo Ricci, Pesaro will be able to test a new sustainable mobility model based on natural gas. The opening ceremony was also attended by the managing director of Acema Lorenzo Ponselè, the senior vice president of Snam4Mobility Andrea Ricci, the head of Sales for Great Customers and LNG of Liquigas Massimiliano Naso and the Business Line Medium & Heavy Manager of IVECO, Alessandro Oitana. The event also featured the exhibition of CNG and LNG vehicles, including the IVECO Stralis NP 460, which was awarded “Sustainable Truck of the Year 2019” at Ecomondo. In addition, the new station will be able to bring natural gas to an existing service station located on a nearby motorway, which has been appropriately upgraded with shelter and distribution islands to supply CNG. Both facilities will supply a particularly high performing CNG, which ensures greater autonomy and a quicker supply. Liquigas, leader in Italy in the distribution of LNG for industrial and transport use, will guarantee the supply of the product to Acema. Acema has been managing fuel distribution and integrated services for service stations for over 70 years, while Snam4Mobility is Snam’s subsidiary aimed at promoting development of natural gas and biomethane as transport fuels. The company currently has about 50 refueling stations under construction.
