据油价网2022年11月28日米兰报道，意大利能源巨头埃尼公司(Eni)首席执行官克劳迪奥·德斯卡尔西周一在米兰举行的一个商业活动上表示，如果意大利希望拥有能源安全和足够的天然气供应，意大利将需要再新建4个液化天然气（LNG）进口设施。

德斯卡尔西在米兰举行的“伦巴第2030”活动上表示：“阿尔及利亚对意大利的天然气出口增加了一倍多，利比亚增加了天然气供应，意大利还从埃及、安哥拉、尼日利亚接收天然气，并从拥有巨大天然气储量的莫桑比克接收第一批天然气。”

这位埃尼公司高管补充说：“现在的问题是，这些天然气是通过LNG运输船流入的，我们没有足够的再气化能力。我们现在需要更多的再气化基础设施。”

德斯卡尔西说，以年消耗300亿立方米天然气的西班牙为例，其再气化能力为600亿立方米。与此同时，意大利只有170亿立方米的进口能力，预计皮翁比诺和拉文那的进口终端将增加100亿立方米进口量。  

德斯卡尔西说：“我们还需要40亿立方米才能保证完全的能源安全。”

到2023年底前，目前正在7个欧盟国家建设的再气化终端将每天额外增加35亿立方英尺的新产能。 根据美国能源信息署基于国际液化天然气进口商集团(GIIGNL)公布的数据表示，德国、波兰、法国、芬兰、爱沙尼亚、意大利和希腊目前正在努力扩大液化天然气进口能力 。  

意大利目前正在皮翁比诺港附近开发一个浮式存储再气化装置(FSRU)终端，该终端每天将增加5亿立方英尺的产能，并可能在2023年春天投入使用。

Eni CEO: Italy Needs More LNG Terminals To Ensure Energy Security

Italy would need another four LNG import facilities if it wants to have energy security and enough supply of natural gas, Claudio Descalzi, chief executive of Italian energy giant Eni, said at a business event in Milan on Monday.

“Algeria has more than doubled gas exports to Italy, Libya has increased gas supply, and Italy also receives gas from Egypt, Angola, Nigeria, and the first cargo of gas from Mozambique, which has enormous gas reserves,” Descalzi said at the Lombardia 2030 event in Milan.

“The problem is that those flows come with tankers and we don’t have enough regasification capacity. We need additional regasification infrastructure,” Eni’s top executive added.

Spain, for example, which consumes 30 billion cubic meters, has a regasification capacity of 60 billion cubic meters, Descalzi said. Italy, meanwhile has just 17 billion cubic meters of import capacity, which is expected to rise by 10 billion cubic meters with the terminals at Piombino and Ravenna.

“We will need another 4 billion cubic meters to have full energy security, Descalzi said.

Regasification terminals currently under construction in seven EU countries could add an additional 3.5 Bcf/d of new capacity by the end of 2023. Germany, Poland, France, Finland, Estonia, Italy, and Greece are currently working to expand LNG import capacities, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), based on data from the International Group of Liquefied Natural Gas importers (GIIGNL).

Italy is currently developing a floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) terminal near the port of Piombino, which will add 0.5 Bcf/d of capacity and will likely come online in the spring of 2023.

However, the Italian government and the city of Piombino are at odds over the construction of the import terminal. The government and the region of Tuscany have approved and are pushing to advance the project, but the city of Piombino in Tuscany is challenging the plan in court.
