Italy will be independent of Russian gas by 2023, said Italian Enterprise Made in Italy Minister Adolfo Urso (Fdi/ECR), pointing to two regasifier ships, one of which arrived at the port of Piombino, allowing the country to rely on countries like Algeria, Azerbaijan and Libya for gas instead.
After 26 days of sailing from Singapore, Golar Tundra – which can process 5 billion cubic metres (bcm) of liquid natural gas (LNG) per year – finally arrived at the port of Piombino, in the province of Livorno. Together with the other regasifier ship, expected in Ravenna, the two are expected to have a total capacity of 13 bcm per year.
Italy will be able to “completely free itself within this year from dependence on Russian gas”, Urso told Radio24. “We have gone from 40% Russian gas in 2021 to 16% last year, with the two ships, we will complete our autonomy”, he added. Read More..
