Title: 01. Energy mix
Abstract: The combination of renewables and natural gas is ideal for lowering CO2 emissions.
Cover Image: /content/dam/enicom/images/immagini-app/low-carbon/mix-energetico.jpg
Description: <p>We combine <strong>renewables</strong> and <strong>natural gas</strong> to forge a path of transition towards a fully sustainable energy model. <br><br> <strong>Power plants</strong> fed by gas are more efficient and produce around half of the CO2 emissions coal-fed plants do. Gas also allows us to be more competitive, safe and flexible, and compensate for the oscillations in production from renewable sources.<br><br> We have 30 years' experience in renewables, in Italy and around the world. We innovate by investing in new technological solutions and scientific research in order to find long-term alternative energy sources, like <strong>magnetic fusion</strong>.</p>

Title: 02. Renewables
Abstract: We contribute to the transition towards a future where energy has a low carbon impact, including by promoting the development of renewable energy.

Description: <p>Renewable energies are at the heart of the evolutionary process that will take us to <a href="https://www.eni.com/en-IT/investors/long-term-plan.html" target="_blank">2050</a>, by which point we have set ourselves the target of reaching <strong>60 GW of installed capacity</strong> in renewables, starting with 1 GW of installed capacity or capacity under development in 2020.</p> <p><strong>Energy Evolution</strong>, one of the two General Management divisions that make up our <a href="https://www.eni.com/en-IT/media/press-release/2020/06/eni-launches-a-new-business-structure.html" target="_blank">organisational structure</a>, aims to develop and grow this sector. In order to supply our customers more efficiently with energy we have produced ourselves, we have decided to merge the renewables business with the Gas & Power retail business.</p> <p>We also use all our knowledge in the R&D sector to develop new and increasingly efficient technologies such as <a href="https://www.eni.com/en-IT/operations/organic-photovoltaic-opv.html" target="_blank"><strong>organic photovoltaics </strong>(OPV)</a>, <a href="https://www.eni.com/en-IT/operations/concentrators-solar-luminescent.html" target="_blank"><strong>luminescent solar concentrators </strong>(LSC)</a>, <a href="https://www.eni.com/en-IT/operations/concentrated-solar-power.html" target="_blank"><strong>concentrated solar power</strong> (CSP)</a> and <a href="https://www.eni.com/en-IT/operations/iswec-eni.html" target="_blank"><strong>ISWEC</strong>, which produces electricity from wave motion</a>.</p>

Title: 03. CCUS and Forestry
Abstract: Carbon capture, storage and reuse (CCUS) technologies and forest protection and conservation (Forestry) projects are important for offsetting residual CO2 emissions.
Cover Image: /content/dam/enicom/images/immagini-app/low-carbon/economia-circolare.jpg
Description: <p>There are some emissions that are impossible to eliminate at the source and therefore defined as 'hard to abate'. They can, however, be offset through <strong>CO2 capture</strong>, <strong><a href="https://www.eni.com/en-IT/operations/storage-reuse-co2.html" target="_blank">storage and use</a></strong> (CCUS) technologies and forest <a href="https://www.eni.com/en-IT/low-carbon/forest-protection-conservation.html" target="_blank"><strong>protection and conservation</strong></a> (Forestry) projects, for example.</p> <p> Both of these solutions are part of our evolutionary journey to <a href="https://www.eni.com/en-IT/investors/long-term-plan.html" target="_blank">2050</a>, playing a role in the complete decarbonization of our products and processes. With regard to <strong>CCUS</strong>, we want to build the world's largest hub for the <strong>permanent storage of CO<sub>2</sub></strong> using disused fields off the coast of Ravenna. </p> <p>On the Forestry front, we're starting projects to protect <strong>primary and secondary forests</strong> in developing countries, where we support <strong>local communities</strong> by promoting socio-economic activities that protect <strong>biodiversity</strong>.</p>

Title: 04. Forest conservation
Abstract: Protecting forests is an important part of reducing CO2 emissions.
Cover Image: /content/dam/enicom/images/immagini-app/low-carbon/conservazione-foreste.jpg
Description: <p>Forests are crucial for <strong>climate regulation</strong> because they capture large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. They currently cover 30% of dry land, but are suffering massive degradation that reduces their absorption. <br><br> This is why we've made forest conservation one of the pillars of our Strategic Plan, starting projects to protect <strong>primary and secondary forests</strong>, above all in developing countries, where we support <strong>local communities</strong> by promoting socio-economic activities that protect <strong>biodiversity</strong>.<br><br> These choices are essential in order to achieve carbon neutrality in Upstream activities by 2030, because by caring for forests we can <strong>compensate for CO2 emissions</strong> that are residual or cannot be eliminated.</p>
