Annual Report 2018 Snam Company Profile Annual report 2018 Snam Company profile Snam is Europe’s leading gas utility. Founded in 1941 as “Società Nazionale Metanodotti”, it has been building and managing sustainable and technologically advanced infrastructure guaranteeing energy security for over 75 years. Snam operates in Italy and, through subsidiaries, in Albania (AGSCo), Austria (TAG and GCA), France (Terēga), Greece (DESFA) and the United Kingdom (Interconnector UK). It is one of the main shareholders of TAP (Trans Adriatic Pipeline) and is the company most involved in projects for the creation of the Energy Union. First in Europe by transport network size (about 32,600 km in Italy, more than 41,000 with international subsidiaries) and natural gas storage capacity (16.9 billion cubic meters in Italy, more than 20 billion with international subsidiaries), Snam manages the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant built in Italy and is a shareholder of Adriatic LNG, the country’s main terminal and one of the most strategic in the Mediterranean, and - via DESFA - the Greek terminal in Revithoussa, with a total pro rata regasification capacity of around 6 billion cubic metres per year. Snam’s business model is based on sustainable growth, transparency, nurturing talent, and development of local areas by constantly listening to and exchanging dialogues with local communities, also thanks to the social initiatives of the Snam Foundation. Through the “Snamtec” project, launched under the scope of the 2018-2022 business plan, Snam has given a great boost to investments for energy transition, focused on technology initiatives, innovation and R&D supporting large national and international networks and green economy businesses, like sustainable mobility, renewable gas, hydrogen and energy efficiency. www.snam.it Annual report 2018 This report has been translated into English from the Italian original solely for the convenience of international readers.

Such statements are, by their very nature, subject to risk and uncertainty as they depend on whether future events and developments take place. The actual results may therefore differ from those forecast as a result of several factors: trends in natural gas demand, supply and price, actual operating performance, general macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical factors such as international conflicts, the effect of new energy and environmental legislation, the successful development and implementation of new technologies, changes in stakeholders' expectations and other changes in business conditions. Snam, the Snam Group or the Group means Snam S.p.A. and the companies within its scope of consolidation. For the glossary, please refer to the website www.snam.it/en/utilities/glossary/.

  • Green Hydrogen the Next Transformational Driver of the Utilities Industry
    EQUITY RESEARCH | September 22, 2020 | 9:41PM BST The following is a redacted version of the original report. See inside for details. Green Hydrogen The next transformational driver of the Utilities industry In our Carbonomics report we analysed the major role of clean hydrogen in the transition towards Net Zero. Here we focus on Green hydrogen (“e-Hydrogen”), which is produced when renewable energy powers the electrolysis of water. Green hydrogen looks poised to become a once-in-a-generation opportunity: we estimate it could give rise to a €10 trn addressable market globally by 2050 for the Utilities industry alone. e-Hydrogen could become pivotal to the Utilities (and Energy) industry, with the potential by 2050 to: (i) turn into the largest electricity customer, and double power demand in Europe; (ii) double our already top-of-the-street 2050 renewables capex EU Green Deal Bull Case estimates (tripling annual wind/solar additions); (iii) imply a profound reconfiguration of the gas grid; (iv) solve the issue of seasonal power storage; and (v) provide a second life to conventional thermal power producers thanks to the conversion of gas plants into hydrogen turbines.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Eurogas joins global initiative to combat methane emissions London, 16 January 2020. Today Eurogas joins the Methane Guiding Principles initiative – a voluntary partnership of industry and civil society organisations aimed at reducing methane emissions across the natural gas supply chain, from production to end consumer. This development stresses the gas industry’s commitment to reducing methane emissions in relation to natural gas. The European Commission is expected to bring forward an EU methane strategy in the first quarter of 2020. Eurogas Secretary General, James Watson, explained the move to join the initiative: “Members of Eurogas have always been committed to limiting methane emissions in their networks and will continue to work on and implement best practices. Joining the Methane Guiding Principles partnership is another step in this direction. It includes cooperation on advancing strong performance across value chains, improving transparency and data accuracy, and positively engaging in dialogue on methane regulation with policymakers.” “Gas will play a crucial role in supporting countries across Europe to address their carbon emissions. Using gas for power generation, industry, transport and heating will help meet future energy demand while achieving decarbonisation. Therefore, working together with serious partners from across the spectrum of energy sector interests to reduce methane emissions is the right and responsible action to take.” The Methane Guiding principles focus on five priority areas for action along the natural gas supply chain: 1. Continually reduce methane emissions 2. Advance strong performance across the gas supply chain 3. Improve accuracy of methane emissions data 4. Advocate sound policy and regulations on methane emissions 5.
