July 6, 2021. Snam4Mobility, Snam’s subsidiary operating in the sustainable mobility sector, today inaugurated in Verona its first self-service compressed natural gas (CNG) and biomethane (Bio-CNG) refueling station, allowing motorists to refuel in complete autonomy, 24 hours a day.
The distributor, managed by Goldengas, will only supply alternative and ecological fuels, including advanced biomethane from the Snam plant in Albairate, in the province of Milan, obtained from organic waste. Biomethane, which will be available at the station in the coming months, is a key renewable source for reducing emissions in the transport sector.
The opening of the plant, the 1500th CNG and liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in Italy, was celebrated with an event attended by the Mayor of Verona Federico Sboarina, the President of NGV Italy Mariarosa Baroni, the President of Assogasmetano Flavio Merigo, as well as representatives from the car sector such as SEAT and from the commercial vehicles sector such as Iveco.
“This opening marks a new service for citizens and in favour of sustainable mobility, which in recent years we have supported and encouraged at 360 degrees, from cycle paths to recharging stations for electric vehicles, as well as scooters and the doubling of bike sharing stations with electric bicycles” said the mayor of Verona Federico Sboarina. “This first self-service gas and biomethane filling station is part of these initiatives to encourage different habits and create a more environmentally friendly approach”.
