In September 2022, the President of Ivory Coast met Eni’s Chief Executive Officer to take stock on the company’s activities in the Country. Descalzi described the ongoing developments of the Baleine project, whose production launch is expected in mid-2023. President Ouattara and Eni’s CEO also discussed the many initiatives Eni is developing to compensate the emissions of the Baleine projects, which include a widespread improved hobs distribution program, and projects to preserve, restore and manage forests and savannas, within the framework of the REDD+ scheme. Furthermore, Descalzi updated the President on the ongoing capacity building initiatives to train 400 executives and technicians, based on the MoU agreement signed in 2021. Lastly, the Parties agreed on the definition of joined agro-industrial initiatives, to be used in biorefining.
