The collaboration of all stakeholders is essential so that Greece\u2019s natural gas distribution network to become a benchmark of cutting-edge energy infrastructure in Europe,\u201d stated the CEO of <strong>Enaon<\/strong>, Ms. <strong>Barbara Morgante<\/strong> during her participation at the\u00a0<strong>9th Sustainability Summit for SE Europe &amp; the Mediterranean<\/strong>, organized by\u00a0<strong>Economist Impact SE Europe Events<\/strong> on October 13 and 14.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in the thematic session <strong>\u201cDecarbonisation: Can Greece lead the way in Europe?\u201d<\/strong>, with the participation of the <strong>Deputy Minister of Environment and Energy Mr. Nikos Tsafos<\/strong>\u00a0and other distinguished speakers, Ms. Morgante noted that\u00a0<strong>Enaon is strengthening its investments in digital and smart natural gas distribution networks<\/strong><strong>,<\/strong> which are ready to accommodate renewable gases such as biomethane.<\/p>\n<p>Leveraging the know-how of its parent group,\u00a0<strong>Italgas<\/strong><strong>,\u00a0Enaon<\/strong>\u00a0is digitally transforming gas networks across Greece through\u00a0<strong>smart meters, real-time telemetry, advanced SCADA systems, and leak detection technologies<\/strong>.
