Description

This is developing a strategic LNG coastal infrastructure project in Southern Italy, designed to serve the Italian national gas grid, maritime LNG bunkering, and heavy transport distribution.

The project aims to establish the first LNG deposit in Southern Italy, strategically positioned on the TEN-T Scandinavian–Mediterranean Corridor, supporting Europe's energy diversification and LNG supply from African sources.

The infrastructure will include an offshore LNG platform and onshore storage facility with direct connection to the SNAM national gas transmission network.

Key Investment Highlights

  • Calabria, Italy
  • 2,400 meters from shore
  • 67,176 m² industrial zone (ZES)
  • First LNG coastal deposit in Southern Italy
  • Located in Calabria within a ZES Special Economic Zone
  • Terminal node of the TEN-T Scandinavian–Mediterranean Corridor
  • Direct maritime access to Suez–Gibraltar LNG shipping routes

Strong Market Fundamentals

  • LNG accounts for 32% of Italy’s gas supply (2025)
  • Heavy transport LNG demand expected CAGR 25–33% to 2030
  • No LNG infrastructure currently in Southern Italy, creating a structural supply gap
  • EU AFIR regulation mandates LNG bunkering at TEN-T ports by 2027

Infrastructure

  • LNG Storage Capacity: 20,000 m³
  • Cryogenic Tanks: 18 units
  • Regasification Capacity:
  • Phase 1: 800 Mm³/year
  • Phase 2: 1.6 Bm³/year
  • Direct connection to SNAM national gas pipeline (400 m)
  • LNG regasification
  • Maritime bunkering
  • LNG distribution for heavy transport
  • Bio-LNG liquefaction (Phase 2)
