The year 2010 saw the commissioning by the Group in Boston of one of the first offshore terminals in the world, and the possibility of building another one in Italy as ad hoc permits were received from the government. Some major innovations are being developed for these new solutions.
In 2011, tools were developed to simulate the thermodynamic behavior of offshore LNG to respond to operational and safety issues.
In Australia, the Group started research that will lead to the technical choices for the liquefaction plant on the "Bonaparte LNG" project. In terms of the unconventional use of LNG, various studies and exchanges were undertaken with vessel and truck operators as well as port authorities. The purpose is to determine the conditions for implementing a full chain (supply of LNG terminals, transport, service stations, and fueling stations) using LNG as fuel.
Under the program, technological analyses are done of all possible alternative fuel segments, from GTL (Gas to Liquid) to LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) so as to place the Group in the best position for tomorrow.
