We work to guarantee secure access to energy sources by carrying out dedicated sustainable development projects in favour of local growth.
The main areas where we work to tackle energy poverty. By continuously interacting with and involving local communities in the countries where we operate, we promote access to energy using a number of tools:
We invest in infrastructure to produce and transport natural gas in the areas where we operate and enter into commercial agreements that involve the local use of a substantial portion of the gas produced, thus fostering local industrial growth.
We supply natural gas and liquefied natural gas to the local Egyptian market. The natural gas-fed Okpai and Omoku thermal power plants in Nigeria and the Centrale Électrique du Congo (CEC) in Pointe Noire in the Republic of Congo also contribute to power generation. In Iraq, we guarantee access to energy with a gas-fired power plant. We also operate renewable energy plants that contribute both to powering our plants, reducing emissions, and providing electricity to local communities in Egypt and Tunisia.

These are the main targets contained in Eni's decarbonization objectives (Net Zero Carbon Footprint Upstream by 2030, for all of Eni by 2035 and Net Zero GHG Lifecycle Emissions and Carbon Intensity by 2050).
By replacing traditional cookstoves with more modern and sustainable, locally produced models, we are helping to reduce indoor domestic pollution, promote the economic development of countries and reduce CO2 emissions in countries like Mozambique, Côte d’Ivoire, Madagascar and Ghana. In particular, clean cooking significantly reduces the smoke released by combustion, improving the quality of life of families who do not have access to gas or electric stoves. Cookstoves also facilitate a more efficient use of wood biomass, thereby reducing deforestation, and contributing to create jobs because they are produced by local companies.

The interactive special
The project distributes improved cooking stoves with the aim of reducing wood biomass consumption and associated emissions.
With slower and more prolonged combustion, the improved cooking stoves consume less coal, emitting less smoke.
The integrated project off the west coast of Ghana for the domestic market started production early.
It is a large-scale integrated project aimed at improving the socio-economic conditions of local communities.
