Small Scale LNG - The international context and Italian excellence: state of the art and infrastructure development

organized by ConferenzaGNL in collaboration with Federchimica-Assogasliquidi

The opening session of "ConferenzaGNL 2024" will focus on the analysis of the international context in which the specificities of the Small Scale LNG market are inserted, with a look at the trend of the Italian end-use market and the expected development of the infrastructure system that Italy is providing through the support of funds allocated by the Italian National Complementary LNG Plan. The analysis will be carried out with the help of international experts, Institutions, research institutes and - above all - the contribution of companies engaged in the implementation and further development of supply infrastructure to ensure that our country can continue to hold market leadership.

FUEL NETWORK REFORM: COMPARING PROTAGONISTS

organized by Federchimica-Assogasliquidi, Assopetroli-Assoenergia and UNEM

The project of reform of the Italian fuel network proposed by the Government aims to restore legality, and therefore efficiency and economy, to a sector that over the years, even with the pulverization of operators, has changed a lot.

The economic unsustainability of some plants and the excessive fragmentation of the entities operating in the sector favor phenomena of illegality that generate unfair competition with other operators and undermine at root the very integrity of the system.

The institutions have a central role in promoting an increasingly necessary rationalization of the fuel network so that operators are put in a position to do their part and thus continue to guarantee an efficient and innovative service to the user on line with the requirements of an unavoidable energy transition.

The conference will be an opportunity to take stock of the situation on the proposal of the Government, whose process for its transformation into law is certainly not easy.

The role of LNG in decarbonising heavy transport, by road and sea

organized by ConferenzaGNL in collaboration with Federchimica-Assogasliquidi 

LNG has been confirmed by the recent Community Regulation AFIR as well as by the European regulations on shipping emissions as one of the excellent alternative fuels to achieve the challenging decarbonization objectives.

The session aims to analyse with the players of the two reference markets the role of LNG, the risks and opportunities and above all to identify the measures necessary to ensure structural development in the use of the product, also in relation to the new and challenging objectives arising from the recent entry into force of new ETS obligations for both sectors.

THE DIGITAL WAY FOR DECARBONIZATION OF TRANSPORT

organized by Federchimica-Assogasliquidi, Assopetroli-Assoenergia and UNEM

The new mandate of the Commission led by Ursula von der Leyen opens with a warning, put black on white by the "Draghi Report": technology neutrality is essential for decarbonisation of transport and operators must have the freedom to choose and combine technologies and fuels to reduce CO2 emissions effectively.

The conference "The digital way for decarbonization of transport" brings together associations from the fuel sector and companies to discuss innovative technologies needed to drastically reduce CO2 emissions in the mobility sector. At the table also Bosch, which will present the revolutionary technology Digital Fuel Twin, a digital system that allows to optimize the use of fuels during the entire life cycle of the vehicle. This solution allows for accurate simulation of fuel performance, including synthetic and renewable fuels, thus improving energy efficiency and reducing harmful emissions.

The debate will also focus on the challenges and opportunities presented by biofuels, whose role in the run-up to the announced revision of CO2 emission regulations for vehicles may once again be central not only in heavy transport and hard-working sectors but also in theto abbot, but also in light transport.

Sustainability - energy - materials and technologies: supplies for a Circular - sustainable energy future to capture the competitive advantages of energy transition

organized by ADACI Italian Association of Purchasing and Supply Management

In a B.A.N.I. world (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible) according to the definition of Jamais Cascio (American anthropologist, author and futurist), who considered the changes brought by the pandemic, design - materials and technologies play a key role in Europe’s present and future competitiveness.

Eco design - supplies are tools for a circular-sustainable energy future, to capture the benefits of the energy transition.

Workshop participants will interact with speakers to explore - identify alternative solutions for the economic sustainability of their activities.

The bioLNG: concrete reality and forthcoming developments in the light of technical and regulatory innovations

organized by ConferenzaGNL in collaboration with Federchimica-Assogasliquidi   

The role of bio-based and renewable fuels is increasingly at the centre of European and international debate. In this context, Italy is also the best country for developing bioLNG solutions to meet the challenges of decarbonization in end-use sectors. The regulatory and support framework is constantly evolving and companies are committed to use the opportunities offered to increase volumes of bioGNL on national territory.

The session aims to analyse regulatory developments and product growth perspectives.
