Welcome and opening Remarks Sergio Garribba – President Scientific Committee, ConferenzaGNL Valeria De Sieno – CEO, Mostra d’Oltremare Key note speech The future of natural gas Vincent Demoury – General Delegate, GIIGNL CDP for energy transition and innovation Luigi Paganetto – Vice President, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti SMALL SCALE LNG: A MILESTONE TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY TRANSITION Direct uses of Small Scale LNG in transport, industry and elsewhere are no longer a promise but a solid reality in the global energy transition. Leading experts, representatives of major international organizations and companies will describe the state of the art. It is the first time in world economic history that a new fuel spreads simultaneously on all continents. There are regional characteristics to be evaluated and shared. Concerns about climate change, security of energy supply and competitiveness are all driving factors towards an increasing role for Small Scale LNG. Renewable LNG from green electricity and biomethane liquefaction, will drive the industrial chain.

HOW TO SUPPLY SMALL SCALE LNG FOR MARKET DEPLOYMENT Small scale LNG market is growing fast, but in Italy and in other European countries some key rings in the logistic chain are still to be realized. Inland and coastal storages, mini liquefaction technologies or multimodal transport systems – also by isocontainers – are the main responses to the demand for Small Scale LNG. Times of construction and volumes available will affect the market and its geographical diffusion. Industry will give its recipe for a fast completion of the logistic chain. Chairman: Antonio Peciccia – Senior Reporter, Argus Media Opening Speech Steve Esau – General Manager, SEA\LNG Vision and Strategies Fabio Dattilo – Head, National Fire Corps Francesco Franchi – Chairman, Federchimica Assogasliquidi Marcello Di Caterina – General Director, ALIS Michele Governatori – President, European Energy Retailers Luca Gazzera – LNG Industrial & Automotive Sales Manager, Vanzetti Engineering Alessandro Fino – Managing Director, OLT Offshore LNG Toscana
HEAVY ROAD TRANSPORT AND RAIL TRANSPORT LNG is rapidly replacing oil products, especially in heavy transport on long distances sectors. New benefits would emerge because of continuing technology innovation. In addition, LNG has interesting prospects also in the rail transport sector.

20.30 OFFICIAL DINNER ON INVITATION
SMALL SCALE LNG FOR ITALY, EUROPE AND THE MEDITERRANEAN AREA European Union has placed itself at the forefront of environmental protection and in the battle against climate change. Many of the measures launched in the past few years, regarding the emission limits in transport and the development of alternative fuels infrastructures, require a large-scale implementation of clean technologies, like Small Scale LNG ones. Europeans look at Middle East and Africa and aim to involve these areas in the development of Small Scale LNG. To achieve this goal, the energy transition must have the same intensity in all countries of the Mediterranean region. Chairman: Umberto Masucci – President, The International Propeller Clubs Opening Address Houda Ben Jannet Allal – General Director, OME Jean Mark Leroy – President, GIE Vision and Strategies Daria Nochevnik – Deputy Head, Greek Energy Forum Calogero Burgio – President, MEDports association – Sustainability Committee Claudia Checchi – Partner, REF-E Federico Meloni – President, GNL Sardegna Mauro Evangelisti – Chairman, Gas & Heat Mats Fagerberg – Commercial Director, Avenir LNG Closing Session Davide Crippa – Undersecretary, Ministry of Economic Development
in cooperation with UFM Gas Platform HOW TO PROMOTE SMALL SCALE LNG USE IN THE EURO-MEDITERRANEAN REGION: OPPORTUNITIES AND PROSPECTS Representatives of national, European and International Institutions discuss how to create in the Mediterranean a Small Scale LNG platform for Europe, Africa and Middle East. At the first place, information sharing, along with regulatory, safety and technical aspects standardization. Introduction and Moderation Paolo D’Ermo – Secretary General, WEC Italy Opening Remarks Houda Ben Jannet Allal – General Director, OME Discussant Daniel Gomez Benusiglio – Chairman, OME’s Hydrocarbons and Energy Security Committee Leonidas Kioussis – International Relations Officer, Directorate-General for Energy, European Commission Adnene Masmoudi – Chef de Département Principal Chargé du Projet GNL, STEG DPTG, Tunisia Ashutosh Shastri – Member of the Board, Global Gas Centre M.

13.00 – 14.30 Lunch Break
MINI LIQUEFACTION, SYNTHETIC AND BIO-LNG, THE SPECIAL GUESTS Leading experts will discuss mini liquefaction, “green power to LNG” and Bio-LNG, that are becoming a powerful engine for the development of all direct uses of LNG. Synthetic and Bio-LNG mixed with fossil LNG further improves the already exceptional environmental performances. The Renevable LNG appears as the last stage of the energy transition, in the evolution from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources. Economic and efficient liquefaction technology is the key to success.
