(CercleFinance.com) – Eni today confirmed its decision to transform its Livorno refinery into a bio-refinery.
Mentioned for the first time in October 2022, the project now depends on the receipt of official authorizations.
It includes the construction of a pre-treatment unit for biogenic raw materials, the construction of a 500,000 tonnes/year Ecofining plant as well as an installation dedicated to the production of hydrogen from methane.
As a reminder, Eni aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and increase its biorefinery capacity from 1.65 million tonnes currently to more than 5 million tonnes/year by 2030.
Preparatory work for the construction of the three new bio-refinery facilities is underway and construction is expected to begin following regulatory approval. Completion and commissioning are expected by 2026, Eni says.
