Eni unveiled the first LNG fuelling station in the European LNG Blue Corridors

The Italian company Eni has opened its first LNG (liquefied natural gas) fuelling station in Piacenza, Italy, and intends to open similar stations on the main roads of the Italian peninsula. According to OilNews, the station is part of the company’s commitment to promoting clean fuels.

The station will serve heavy long-haul vehicles that run on LNG as a single fuel; such engines are being developed by European vehicle manufacturers. Eni is an active participant in the LNG Blue Corridors project, which focuses on building eco-friendly filling stations along four major European trade routes that cross the continent from north to south.
