Verona, Oct. 22, 2025<\/strong> – The crucial role of sustainable fuels such as LNG for the ecological transition in the transportation sector was the focus of a conference entitled “Gaseous fuels LPG and LNG: development prospects, projects and concrete solutions for low-emission heavy and light transport,” held in Verona at the Oil & Non-Oil 2025 exhibition event.<\/p>\n\n

Organized by Assogasliquidi-Federchimica<\/strong>, the meeting brought together key players in the supply chain with the aim of taking stock of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) market, a key sector for achieving the decarbonization goals set by European policies and the Green Deal.<\/p>\n\n

Big players in the supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Keynote speakers included Costantino Amadei<\/strong>, president of Assogasliquidi LNG Group, and Andrea Fernandi<\/strong>, CSO of Vulcan.<\/p>\n\n

Also of key importance was the presence of major industry players such as HAM Italia, Sol, Iveco and Scania (our strategic partners for biomethane development), reflecting the industry’s growing commitment to low-emission solutions.<\/p>\n\n

Assogasliquids: structural incentives needed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Costantino Amadei emphasized the need for targeted government support for the LNG and BIOGNL sector.<\/p>\n\n

In fact, Assogasliquidi has requested a series of incentive measures from the government in the form of tax credits.<\/p>\n\n

Proposals include:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • A tax credit<\/strong> on fossil-fueled LNG vehicles currently on the road.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A 10 percent tax credit<\/strong> on fossil LNG consumption, rising to 22 percent<\/strong> for the use of BIOGNL<\/strong> (Liquefied Natural Gas from Biological and Renewable Sources).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • For newly registered<\/strong> vehicles scheduled for next year, consumption incentives would increase significantly: 20 percent<\/strong> for LNG and up to 40 percent<\/strong> for BIOGNL.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Amadei stressed that this is a request that has already been submitted to the authorities, with the intention of making such interventions a structural<\/strong> measure for the next three years<\/strong>, providing stability and confidence to investors and industry players.<\/p>\n\n

    Vulcan: rebuilding trust and working on commissioning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    Andrea Fernandi, Vulcan’s chief sales manager, highlighted how the success of the transition hinges on the ability to rebuild<\/strong> end-user trust<\/strong> in the LNG medium.<\/p>\n\n

    According to Fernandi, there are two pillars to achieve this goal:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    1. Price stability, <\/strong>essential for logistics operators’ planning and investment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Demand stimulation <\/strong>not only for truckers, but also “working on the customer,” i.e., for large companies that commission transportation, and on major fleets<\/strong> that need to make the decision to replace the most polluting vehicles with new liquefied gas solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n

      The conference therefore reaffirmed the joint commitment of associations, suppliers and manufacturers to promoting LNG and BIOGNL as concrete and readily available avenues for cleaner freight transport in line with the challenges of environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n\n
