Assotermica and Proxigas push biogas for Italian decarbonisation

Italian trade groups Assotermica and Proxigas signed an agreement to promote biogas and other renewable gases as a practical tool for cutting emissions. The deal aims to give policymakers clear technical input so that gas infrastructure can support decarbonisation rather than slow it down. The focus is on using existing gas networks to carry biomethane and hydrogen blends, which could reduce the need for new buildout. The groups argue that a mix of low-carbon gases is a cheaper and faster path to EU 2050 targets than relying solely on electrification. No specific targets or funding commitments were announced. The value of the agreement will depend on how much of this technical advice actually shapes Italian energy strategy in the next few years.
