ENERGY TRANSITION
WATCH NOW
The Ravenna CCS project Eni and joint venture partner Snam started phase one of Ravenna CCS in September 2024. It is the first location in Italy with a capture capacity of 0.25 Mt per year.
Carbon captured at Eni’ s Casalborsetti natural gas treatment plant is being injected and permanently stored in the depleted Porto Corsini Mare Ovest gas field in the Adriatic Sea. Eni says:“ The initiative is already cutting the plant’ s CO 2 emissions by up to 96 % during peaks.”
Phase two of the project, to start by 2030, will enable capacity of up to 4 Mt of CO 2. Eni says:“ A significant portion of this is expected to be used by hard-toabate such as cement, steel, fertiliser and chemicals in the Ravenna industrial zone as well as power plants.”
Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi says:“ CCUS is a mature and safe technological process and is one of the key levers for the energy transition, being an efficient and effective tool to support hard-to-abate industries in reducing their emissions.“
