Together with the institutional stakeholders and other interested operators, Snam will also continue to develop projects related to the evolution of the gas product (LNG and CNG) in the transportation sector and in biomethane production. The natural gas introduced into the national network comes from imports and, to a lesser extent, national production. The foreign gas is injected into the national network through eight entry points where the network joins up with the import pipelines (Tarvisio, Gorizia, Gries Pass, Mazara del Vallo and Gela) and with the LNG regasification terminals (Panigaglia, Cavarzere and Livorno). Domestically produced gas is injected in the network through 53 entry points from the production 32 Snam | 2017 Sustainability Report The International infrastructure system and Snam’s role Snam’s international growth aims to consolidate the European infrastructure system facilitating the alignment between the consumer and producer interests, promoting a greater liquidity in the South-European gas market also through the development of new routes, and preserving the connection between the United Kingdom and continental Europe.
