Background
in March 2017, Edison S.p.A. and Petrolifera Italo Rumena applied for approval to construct an LNG depot at the Port of Ravenna in Italy.[9] In May of 2018, construction began on the terminal.[10] Final investment decision timing could not be found and is presumed to be May 2018 when construction began. By October 2020, construction of the €100 million project had reached 70% completion with operations still expected to start in October of 2021.[11][12] In October 2021, the terminal received its first LNG supplies from the Enagás Regasification Plant in Barcelona.[13] Edison was able to complete it on schedule within 28 months.[14] The terminal was commissioned in 2021. It has a storage capacity of 20,000 cubic meters of LNG[15] and can process around 1 million tons of LNG a year.[16]
Opposition
Opposition groups have cited the low utilization rates of Italy's operating LNG terminals to call into question the necessity of such extensive LNG infrastructure in the country. According to Food and Water Europe's 2019 profile on Italy's gas use, "Between January 2012 and March 2019 all Italian LNG terminals were used at only ~31% of their capacity."[17]
