The growth of bio-methane in Italy

With the acquisition in 2021 of 22 plants in Italy with an expected gross capacity of more than 5,000 Sm³/h by 2027, in aims to further expand this activity, which will contribute to decarbonisation targets and become part of the offering portfolio for Enilive customers, also through the methane distribution network.

The operation represents one of the levers for the rapid growth of renewable productions, in order to make available to customers an increasing share of green and bio products (liquid bio-fuels and bio-methane), integrating with the increase in Enilive service stations supplying CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) on the Italian network.

The circular economy and bio-methane

Bio-methane production falls within the circular economy framework, and allows enhancing farming, agri-industrial waste, manure and organic waste, thus promoting the establishment between the agriculture and energy worlds with a view to long-term sustainability.

To support the entire biomethane supply chain, cooperation agreements are being promoted with various professional organisations, engaging in dialogue with biogas-producing companies for the production of biomethane derived from the anaerobic digestion of biomass, livestock effluents and OFMSW.

The company also works closely with Eni’s Novara Research Centre to develop technological solutions aimed at optimising processes and biomass recovery.
