Gas imports reached Italy mainly through two pipelines: the Rogatec-Gorizia gas pipeline and the Trans-Mediterranean (TransMed) gas pipeline. In 2024, they had a capacity of 53 and 34 billion standard cubic meters, respectively. These pipelines brought gas from Eastern Europe and Algeria, which was the main supplier of natural gas to Italy. The main LNG regasification center was the Adriatic LNG terminal offshore Caverzere.

Supplementary notes
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) figures have been converted from million tons per annum to billion cubic meters per year using the formula 1 million ton per year of LNG= 1.379 billion cubic meters per year of gas.
Million standard cubic feet per day have been converted to billion standard cubic meters using the formula 1 cubic meter = 35.3 cubic feet.
