Stefano Calandri, Vanzetti Engineering, Italy, provides an overview of the journey of LNG and the role of cryogenic pumps throughout the stages.
nergy trends are increasingly focused on alternative, renewable, and green energy. In terms of transport, in addition to the electric and hybrid option, there has been a shift towards fuels with an extremely low environmental impact. In a global situation that is adapting to worldwide low emission standards correlated with values defined by the 2030 zero emissions protocol, now more than ever it seems indispensable to continue the change towards all those sources of energy with a low environmental impact. However, it should be noted that unfortunately renewable energy alone is not able to cover the entire need of countries.
A solution exists LNG is one of the alternatives that is proving successful. It has properties that can contribute to achieving the goals set by the 2030 protocol. The future that awaits, in terms of clean
energy, could provide new and numerous opportunities. The increase in the use of LNG is not limited to just the transport sector but a reality that encompasses industrial areas and the equally important energy production sector. This transition fuel has significant advantages if compared to the parameters of fossil fuels. Vanzetti Engineering, an Italian enterprise with over 30 years of experience in the LNG sector, understood the potential of this type of fuel right from the start, manufacturing cryogenic pumps that are able to support any downstream or upstream application of the LNG value chain.
A sector continuously expanding LNG is a valid energy source as long as some basic rules are followed. As a matter of fact, when LNG is handled safely, it represents the best alternative to fossil fuels, since its carbon emissions are 85% lower, and thus it is characterised
