Italy

The challenges we face

Italy is undergoing a major process of energy transition that sees it heavily involved in pursuing ambitious decarbonization targets within a European continent that is already leading the world in the fight against climate change. Italy’s decarbonization strategy is based on a major commitment to energy efficiency and investment in renewables.

Our strategy

We are always working to develop cutting-edge technologies, in line with the goals of the Italian National Energy and Climate Plan. We pursue an ambitious transformation strategy, based on efficiency, integration, the use of new technologies, and the development of energy from renewable sources. We began in 2014, by converting the refinery in Venice into the world's first bio-refinery, followed by the Gela bio-refinery in 2019: thanks to a project run by Eni Rewind, in the near future both will be able to produce bio-oil from organic waste.

Starting in 2016 we launched a major project for the deployment of photovoltaics with zero land consumption, using reclaimed former industrial areas; and last but not least, in 2019, with our partners CDP, Terna and Fincantieri, we launched a project to build wave energy power stations on an industrial scale. All this is the result of the research that we carry out in our laboratories, also in partnership with the most important universities and research centres in the country, which testifies to the strategic value that Italy has in our development plans.

The main results in Italy

In Italy too we create energy, aiming for efficiency and sustainability in all areas of the business. The following infographics summarise the main 2019 results in the renewable energy sector, Exploration & Production, Gas & Power and Refining & Marketing activities, chemicals and environmental remediation activities through Eni Rewind.

Decarbonization and the circular economy

To ensure long-term sustainability of a low-carbon future, we are on a path towards decarbonization. It is one of the pillars on which our business model is based and supports an energy model in which everyone has access to innovative and clean mixes of energy. The urgent need to protect the environment is a great challenge but also an opportunity to save the planet while building a new, more inclusive economy. This requires our commitment and focus. We need to change mindsets and business models, which can be achieved by reducing waste.

Digitalisation, people and transformation

Digital transformation is a process that affects our entire company across the board. It improves safety, ensures asset integrity, promotes people's skills, increases energy and operational efficiency and drives business opportunities. Italy is at the heart of this road, from project conception to building the first digital lighthouse. We are technologically committed in many areas: artificial intelligence, blockchain, virtual reality, augmented reality, advanced robotics, internet of things and sensors.

It is our people who bring about this transformation. By interacting with technology, we can act faster, more efficiently and more flexibly, ensuring that the company is increasingly sustainable in relation to the environment and its stakeholders and more competitive on the reference market, with the aim of contributing to the energy transition.
