This is according to a study by Statnett, the Norwegian electricity grid operator, which states that the rapid expansion of renewables will not be enough

Gas will play a crucial role in European electricity prices until 2060

Gas instead of coal: Asia and Africa are shifting gears

Across the two continents, the ‘shift’ between the two commodities is becoming increasingly pronounced in order to pursue industrial development that does not lead to an excessive rise in emissions

Proxigas: for Italian households, excise duties weigh more heavily on gas

Compared with the electricity bill, the proportion is even higher when electricity is used to heat homes

Green hydrogen: new projects are moving forward

The Global Gas Report 2026: less than 5 per cent of all clean hydrogen projects announced up to 2035 are backed by firm off-take agreements

Proxigas: here are the proposals to help the gas sector grow

Priorities include strengthening security of supply and diversifying supply sources, promoting efficient wholesale markets and making the most of the country’s infrastructure assets. Not to mention consumers and the regulatory framework

Gas plays a central role in European heavy industry

In theory, 70 per cent of industrial processes can be electrified, but for ‘hard-to-abate’ processes – which involve extremely high temperatures – the transition still faces significant limitations

Global demand has reached a record high of 4,202 billion cubic metres, driven by growth in Asia. Figures are also on the rise in our country

Gas: 2025 looks set to be a standout year. Consumption is on the rise both in Europe and worldwide

European reserves stand at 62 per cent and Italian reserves at 81 per cent. With winter approaching, the German figure (50.4 per cent) is a cause for concern, as is the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which is contributing to the uncertainty

Italia leads the EU in gas storage, but faces stiff competition from Asia

The sharp rise in demand for electricity, particularly in the US, cannot be met either by renewables or by next-generation nuclear power, which is still in the planning stage. As a result, plans for new gas-fired power stations are flourishing

The AI and data centre boom is bringing gas back into the spotlight

The hidden treasure of biogas: 15 billion cubic metres by 2050 for Italia

A study by Snam-Cib identifies significant potential for development that could contribute to our country’s decarbonisation and energy independence

Heating and cooling: thermoelectric power is key to maintaining the stability of the system

From 6 pm onwards, renewable energy sources begin to fall short and gas-fired power stations become essential for meeting electricity demand, which is also driven by air conditioning

Proxigas turns 80: a book to celebrate its history and its role in the country

Gas is a mainstay of the Italian economy for households and businesses. It will be key to the transition

An agreement to provide clear, shared solutions, helping to create more effective energy policies. The aim? To promote biogas as a driving force for reducing emissions

Green gases: Assotermica and Proxigas working towards sustainable decarbonisation

Since 2022, liquefied natural gas has seen its share of the Italian and European gas portfolios increase exponentially, with the United States now the world leader in production

The new global balance of power in the gas sector and the role of LNG: the Hormuz unknown

Thanks to its geographical location on the Mare Nostrum, our country can become a hub for the transit of gas and green energy to Central Europe

Gas and Italia as a Mediterranean hub thanks to the reversal of North-South flows

Various obligations are envisaged for operators in the sector, with potential implications for the renegotiation and signing of new gas import contracts

Gas: new EU regulations put supplies at risk

From electricity generation to heating: here’s why gas will continue to play a central role in the coming decades, despite the growth of renewables

Security and diversification: the role of gas in the energy transition

Gas beyond the transition: the future of the energy system
