Snam is Europe’s leading operator in natural gas transport, with a network of approximately 38,000 km in Italy and abroad. The company also deals with storage, of which it holds more than 17% of the European capacity, and regasification, with 13.5 billion cubic meters of gas per year that will rise to 18.5 billion cubic meters to 2025 thanks to the plant in Ravenna. Its medium-long term ambition is to develop and consolidate a system of energy infrastructure for a sustainable future, positioning itself as a multi-molecule operator at national and European level, focusing on innovation and enhancing the role of gas as a transition vector. Snam is among the leading Italian listed companies by market capitalisation.
With its 80 years of experience in the construction and management of infrastructure, Snam ensures supply security and promotes the energy transition through investments in green gases (biomethane and hydrogen), energy efficiency, and CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) technology. The company also creates new green areas through a benefit corporation focused on urban afforestation projects.
Snam also aims to reduce direct greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2027, 40% by 2030, and 50% by 2032, reaching carbon neutrality (100%) by 2040. This will involve offsetting emissions that cannot be eliminated through selected offset projects, engaging affiliated companies and suppliers. Snam also aims to achieve net-zero emissions on all fronts, including indirect ones, by 2050. The Group is actively working on reducing natural gas emissions on its assets. In 2023, Snam achieved a -55% reduction compared to 2015 and has set a target of -64% by 2027.
