Assogasliquidi-Federchimica commented positively on the initiative of 7 April by the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini to support the renewal of the transport fleet.
The association points out that, for a decisive push towards decarbonisation of the sector, it is crucial to incentivise the use of clean fuels such as LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) and BIOGNL.
In this context, Vulcan is a key player.
For years, the company has been investing in the development of innovative technologies and solutions such as the LNG and the BIOGNLactively contributing to the ecological transition of the transport sector.
The company continues to support haulage companies in switching to more sustainable fuels by offering state-of-the-art products and services.
Assogasliquidi-Federchimica emphasises the role of Italian companies that have been making forward-looking investments in LNG and BIOGNL infrastructure for over a decade.
The association advocates significant incentives for the purchase of vehicles fuelled by these fuels, a technology that is already mature and available and does not require the conversion of vehicles to BIOGNL.
As highlighted by Costantino Amadei, President of the Assogasliquidi-Federchimica LNG Group and Member of Board of Vulcan, the association supports the introduction of a Tax Credit for the purchase of biofuels, provided it strongly encourages the use of LNG and Bio-GNL and ensures their further development.
From this point of view, the introduction announced by Minister Salvini of the Tax Credit for the purchase of biofuels is also a positive novelty, necessary to support the road transport sector on the path to decarbonisation. In this case, too, it is necessary to support the tax credit with a strong bonus for the purchase of LNG and bioNG as alternative technologies that must be incentivised to ensure their further development compared to conventional ones. This bonus would also be consistent with the growth of supply infrastructures, which are also the subject of special financing lines in the National Plan complementary to the NRP.
Vulcan's commitment aligns perfectly with the directions of Assogasliquidi-Federchimicaconfirming the company's role as a strategic partner for transport companies wishing to reduce their environmental impact and benefit from the opportunities offered by the LNG and BIOGNL market.
