They will also work on promoting the use of green hydrogen for rail transportation purposes. Their collaboration initiatives also include the creation of multifunctional refuelling stations for CNG (compressed natural gas), LNG (liquefied natural gas) and hydrogen in Italy. Moreover, the companies will guarantee LNG supplies in every corner of the country by developing the necessary infrastructure.
