Eni participates in joint decarbonization initiatives
Autostrade per l’Italia, Eni and Cassa Depositi e Prestiti today signed an agreement to develop joint initiatives for the energy transition across their operations.
The agreement encompasses sustainable mobility, with the specific goal of decarbonizing Italy’s motorway network. This includes the development of new energy carriers for both lorries and cars, starting with biofuel from sustainable raw materials and not in competition with the food chain, hydrogen, biomethane and charging points for electric cars. The agreement also includes developing renewable energy plants by installing photovoltaic farms in areas owned by Autostrade per l’Italia or near the motorway network, also by setting up special purpose vehicles.
Refuelling areas will host an increasing number of fully electric charging posts as well as new decarbonized carriers (including electricity, biomethane and hydrogen) starting with Eni’s biofuels, which will also be available in pure form from January 2023. It will also become possible to set up energy communities near areas owned by Autostrade per l’Italia or near the motorway network, where renewable energy plants will be built, encouraging the setting up of collective self-consumption initiatives.
The partnership also covers creating programmes for the development of sustainable products to improve motorway pavements and launching circular economy initiatives, starting with the collection of used tyres that can be regenerated into sustainable chemicals and energy products, including road surfaces.
