What LNG is
LNG, which stands for liquefied natural gas, is primarily composed of methane and is considered a very clean fossil fuel. When compared to coal and oil, it significantly reduces CO2, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur dioxide emissions. An important feature of LNG is its ability to reduce its volume by 600 times when liquefied, making it efficient for transportation and storage.
With the increasing global demand, LNG is becoming a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional fuels. It plays a vital role in the energy system, particularly in Italy, where there is an active shift from petroleum derivatives.

BIOLNG: a renewable energy source for transportation and industry
BIOLNG or biogas is a liquefied biofuel produced from biomass, which can be used in various sectors, including transportation and industry.
In the transportation sector, BIOLNG can be used as a fuel for heavy vehicles, such as trucks and buses, offering a cleaner alternative to traditional fuels.
It can be used in existing compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) vehicles.
In industry, BIOGNL can be used as an energy source for energy-intensive industrial processes, to produce heat and steam, or to generate electricity through cogeneration plants.
Characteristics of LNG
Liquefied natural gas has a calorific value of about 13,000 Kcal/KG, which establishes it as a product among those with the highest calorific value.
These characteristics make it a safe, clean and highly energetic product.
Its liquid form allows large quantities to be stored in relatively small spaces.
LNG has a very low environmental impact; it contains no sulfur and emits very low amounts of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide during combustion.
How we transport LNG
The Vulcan LNG -160° Corridor is being developed to cover all of Italy, with plans to double the network to facilitate LNG distribution from north to south. Vulcan manages the entire LNG value chain, from supply to final distribution.
Our outlets are modern, efficient and suitable for servicing heavy transport vehicles.
Additionally, there are plans too expand in Europe, with active distribution networks in Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria.
Why choose LNG
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) offers several advantages, including ecology, safety, versatility, and cost-effectiveness.
It is considered an environmentally friendly fuel because it is odorless, non-toxic, non-corrosive and lighter than air, which allows it to be dispersed quickly in the event of an accidental spill.
In addition, LNG can be transported over long distances by LNG carriers, reaching remote areas and places not connected by international pipelines.
The ease of transporting liquefied natural gas and the ability to store large amounts of energy in small volumes make it cost-effective.
