Net Zero: Reaching carbon neutrality through an industrial transformation
Our long-term strategy aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 through a plan characterized by intermediate targets involving all company sectors in Italy and worldwide, based on established technologies and developing cutting-edge solutions.
We contribute to the energy sector's transition towards more sustainable sources, following a strategy compatible with global climate goals and continuing to ensure supply security and sustainability.
We have embarked on a profound industrial transformation involving all business lines, enabling us to achieve the Net Zero target by 2050. The evolution is based on the most efficient technological solutions available and, simultaneously, on the research and development of innovative technologies.
On our path to decarbonization, we set progressive reduction targets for net emissions, starting with those generated directly by our own operations (Scope 1 and 2) and then including those of our customers, i.e., related to the end use of our products (Scope 3), calculated over our products’ entire life cycle. Specifically, we aim for net zero emissions from Upstream activities by 2030 and all of Eni by 2035 (Scope 1+2), reaching Net Zero by 2050 for all GHG emissions (Scope 1+2+3). Eni plans only to use carbon offsets to compensate for emissions it cannot otherwise reduce to zero.

Reduce
Reducing emissions to limit the impact on the climate
Reducing emissions is integral to our long-term strategy towards Net Zero by 2050.
SCOPE 2
Indirect emissions from power, heat, and steam generation, purchased from other energy companies and consumed by Eni’s production facilities.
SCOPE 3
Indirect emissions produced throughout Eni’s product value chain, upstream and downstream of the company’s operations (e.g., suppliers and clients).
Five lines for an effective and sustainable business model
Through the use of proprietary technologies and the diversification of energy sources, we control the entire energy value chain, basing our integrated business model on five lines:

2040
2050
35% reduction (vs 2018)
of net lifecycle Scope 1+2+3 GHG emissions
55% reduction (vs 2018)
of net lifecycle Scope 1+2+3 GHG emissions
80% reduction (vs 2018)
of net lifecycle Scope 1+2+3 GHG emissions
Reaching the finish line
Zero net lifecycle Scope 1+2+3 GHG emissions
Specific actions to decarbonize our activities
We align our growth and industrial transformation plans with the decarbonization goals in the medium- and long-term strategy involving the entire value chain. We plan to progressively reduce emissions by increasing the share of natural gas in the production mix. At the same time, we work to expand renewable energy development and focus on the circular economy to offer new energy solutions and services. The conversion of conventional refineries into biorefineries goes in this direction.
CO2 capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS) projects will complement existing technologies by reducing hard-to-abate residual emissions. Compensation through carbon credits has a marginal role in this process.
Our strategy to reach carbon neutrality by 2050
Our strategic approach enables us to offer our customers a full range of increasingly decarbonized products and services, aiming to achieve net zero direct and indirect emissions by 2050.
