EIB approves $306M loan to Snam to build 240KM of pipelines to connect biomethane to Italian grid

July 28, 2025 |

In Luxembourg, the European Investment Bank (EIB) has approved a loan of up to €264 million to Snam, with the aim of facilitating the integration of biomethane production plants into Italy’s energy infrastructure and promoting the transition to a more sustainable and diversified energy system.

This financing will enable the construction of 240 kilometres of new gas pipelines dedicated to connecting plants producing biomethane from renewable sources with the national gas transmission network. The new infrastructure will be able to transport up to 12 000 GWh of energy per year, equivalent to 1.13 billion cubic metres of biomethane, thus helping to achieve the target set under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), which provides for the production of 5 billion cubic metres per year by 2030.
