The Ravenna CCS project Eni and joint venture partner Snam started phase one of Ravenna CCS in September 2024. It is the first location in Italy with a capture capacity of 0.25 Mt per year.
Carbon captured at Eni’ s Casalborsetti natural gas treatment plant is being injected and permanently stored in the depleted Porto Corsini Mare Ovest gas field in the Adriatic Sea. Eni says:“ The initiative is already cutting the plant’ s CO 2 emissions by up to 96 % during peaks.”
Phase two of the project, to start by 2030, will enable capacity of up to 4 Mt of CO 2. Eni says:“ A significant portion of this is expected to be used by hard-toabate such as cement, steel, fertiliser and chemicals in the Ravenna industrial zone as well as power plants.”
Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi says:“ CCUS is a mature and safe technological process and is one of the key levers for the energy transition, being an efficient and effective tool to support hard-to-abate industries in reducing their emissions.“
