RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We are working for the future, every single day.
Gas and Heat continually invests in the research and development of new technologies for a sustainable future. We have consolidated partnerships with Italian and foreign universities, we are active with various Research Centres for the spread of new fuels such as bio-LNG, ammonia, methanol and hydrogen. Our Research and Development is not only geared towards new fuels, we are also deeply committed to the continual improvement of our production processes.
- For example, research on innovative materials from nickel alloys to various manganese-containing austenitic steels.
- Optimization and research on welding consumables and continual research to improve automated welding processes.
- The continual improvement of our "plug and play" solutions for our systems constructed on Skid.
- Constant research into new insulating materials for single and double wall tanks and piping and for optimizing cryogenic gas containment and management systems.
Every day we devote ourselves to innovation, constant improvement and commitment to environmental responsibility.

Gas and Heat S.p.A. was recently awarded anApproval in Principle (AiP) for an innovative ammonia-based ship power system developed to support the decarbonization of the maritime sector.
The project, which fits fully into the company's energy transition strategy, was led by our R&D team. In particular, Sara Evangelisti, R&D Director of Gas and Heat, recounts in the official video the technical and regulatory path taken to ensure the compliance and success of the system, from the design stages to conceptual validation by the certification body.
Ammonia remains one of the most promising solutions as an alternative fuel for the marine environment due to its zero carbon emission characteristics during combustion. Our work has focused on thesafe and efficient integration of this technology on board ship, in full alignment with the latest international safety and sustainability regulations.
In parallel, our R&D department is actively engaged in the development of new technological solutions for the transport of liquid CO₂ and hydrogen, consolidating Gas and Heat's position as a benchmark in innovation for the cryogenic and alternative gas industry.
This project is another important step in our ongoing efforts to support the energy evolution of the maritime industry by developing technologies that meet the environmental and industrial challenges of the future.
Our patents.
Cryogenic Plant
The cryogenic system designed by Gas and Heat is a full containment composed by an inner stainless steel cryogenic tank, an outer secondary containment made by a monobloc concrete structure with the inner space completely full of an independent proper insulation.
Ship with improved
Cryogenic Tank
LNG2Contain™: an innovative cryogenic tank shape with different diameters capable to support a Tank Connection Space optimizing the space.
Storage System
for Cryogenic Fluid
The storage system for cryogenic fluid provides a tank enclosed within a structure in concrete material and it is characterized by an innovative arrangement of the control devices of the cryogenic fluid in the tank to let easy and quick the control and the maintenance of the system.
Procedure and device for refuelling liquefied and similar gases
LNG4speed™: the liquid gas refuelling procedure/device introduced is suitable to be used in a plurality of tanks for refuelling a single tank thanks to an innovative control of the correct flow of liquid gas regardless of the conditions of each cistern and the tank. It can be used as bunkering (as Truck to Ship) as well as a mobile truck loading device (as Ship to Truck).
FOR FUTURE
Invaluable strategies for a sustainable future.
Gas and Heat is working daily for a more sustainable future. We are deploying resources in search of efficiency-oriented solutions. We are investigating the applications of alternative fuels and carrying out our work sustainably. While resources are not inexhaustible, our will to preserve them is.
