Description

The increase in world energy demand is making natural gas a leading player, yet its supply in Italy is still inefficient because of internal and external factors of its geopolitical diversification. On the contrary, thanks to its geographical position and morphology our Country could represent the major point of gas exchange in central-southern Europe and transform itself from a country at the risk of emergency into one of the greatest gas hub in Europe

Abstract (Italian)

L'offerta di gas in Italia, a causa di fattori critici endogeni ed esogeni, resta insufficiente. Tuttavia, per la sua posizione geografica e morfologica, il nostro paese potrebbe configurarsi come il maggiore punto di scambio del gas dell'Europa centro meridionale, trasformandosi cosi da paese a rischio di emergenza ad uno dei maggiori snodi di gas d'Europa
