Ravenna, October 26 - La Petrolifera Italo Rumena (PIR), Edison and Enagás announce the start of operations in Ravenna of Depositi Italiani GNL (DIG), the small-scale terminal of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at the service of the sustainability of heavy and maritime transport.
With the entry into operation of DIG coastal terminal - 51% owned by PIR, 30% by Edison and 19% by Scale Gas of the Enagás Group - Italy will benefit from a stable and secure supply LNG for the transport market. A concrete and available solution capable of contributing from today to the decarbonisation of transport.
Il deposito, realizzato con un investimento di circa 100 milioni di euro sul territorio, ha una capacità di stoccaggio di 20.000 metri cubi di GNL e una capacità di movimentazione annua di oltre 1 milione di metri cubi di gas liquido, rendendo disponibile il GNL per l’alimentazione di almeno 12.000 camion e fino a 48 traghetti all’anno. Durante il suo esercizio consentirà di evitare l’emissione di 6 milioni di tonnellate di CO2 e di azzerare quelle di particolato e di ossidi di zolfo.
The terminal, built with an investment of approximately 100 million euros, has a storage capacity of 20,000 cubic meters of LNG and an annual handling capacity of more than 1 million cubic meters of liquid gas, making LNG available for fuelling at least 12,000 trucks and for bunkering up to 48 ferries per year. During its operation it will make it possible to avoid the emission of 6 million tons of CO2 and to eliminate those of particulate matter and sulfur oxides.
“We are very pleased to have reached this ambitious milestone in the construction of the first strategic LNG infrastructure in Italy and particularly in the port of Ravenna, which is the historical base of our Group, and to have undertaken this economic adventure with important partners such as Edison and Scale Gas Solutions of the Enagás Group - comments Guido Ottolenghi, PIR CEO -. The DIG terminal represents the first tangible step in the direction of the country's energy transition.”
