Eni (E) Forms Joint Venture to Develop CCS Project in Italy
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eni SPA (E - Free Report) formed a joint venture with energy infrastructure company Snam to develop and operate Italy’s first carbon capture and storage (“CCS”) project, Ravenna.
The first phase of the Ravenna CCS project will capture 25,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) released from Eni’s Casalborsetti natural gas treatment facility. The captured CO2 will be transported to the Porto Corsini Mare Ovest platform and injected into the homonymous depleted gas field in offshore Ravenna.
Phase 1 will help reduce emissions from the Casalborsetti power plant, a project based on a mature technological process crucial to achieving the company’s climate goals. The first phase is also expected to create 500 employment opportunities for the local economies.
Oil and gas companies are getting actively involved in CCS projects, as it offers a transition pathway for the rapid and effective reduction of CO2 emissions beyond what can be achieved by alternative methods like electrification and renewable fuels. Thus, the use of CCS in reducing industrial emissions offers an excellent opportunity.
CCS is vital to avoiding CO2 emissions from hard-to-abate sectors, which currently have no technological alternatives for decarbonization. The joint venture will contribute to the decarbonization of carbon-intensive sectors such as steel mills, cement, ceramics and chemicals.
CCS projects are being developed globally and are currently in advanced stages both in Europe — especially in the U.K., the Netherlands and the Nordic countries — and the United States. The project marks a major step toward the decarbonization needs of highly carbon-intensive sectors, and other Italian regions and countries bordering the Mediterranean Basin.
