In line with the increasing international attention on Green remediation, Eni is committed to implement the sustainable Remediation principle by supporting initiatives related to both environmental issues and value creation for the local communities. With reference to the technical scientific issues, Eni started up initiatives which aim to both coordinate and share experiences on technical-environmental issues and cooperate with local authorities in order to agree on protocols related to the implementation of environmental recovery technologies. Within the coordinating process, is in a start up phase the Database Management Remediation project which aims at archiving and sharing technical expertise in the different implemented methodologies so to strengthen and improve operating processes
In 2010, Eni continued working on reclamation in the Refining and Petrochemical sectors, in addition to the reclamation contracted to Syndial, whose progress was in line with plans for the main reclamation activities at Assemini, Cengio, Manfredonia, Porto Marghera, Priolo and Gela. In 2010, Eni total expenditure on remediation reached a total amount of €300 million.

Cengio
During 2008 reclamation was completed at the Cengio site (Savona) of more than 200,000 m2 of land that will be made available for new industrial development, at an estimated cost of around €300 million.
Reclamation work
The realisation of this complex and significant reclamation operation, unique of its kind in Italy, in addition to Eni personnel, involved leading Italian and European companies with extensive use of local labour: overall, around 300 people were employed to render the entire area safe.
This has resulted in the realisation of two objectives, the environmental recovery of the area and the industrial re-launch, providing jobs as per the Programme Agreement signed in December 2000 by Syndial with the ministries of the environment, industry and health, with the Liguria and Piedmont regional councils and the Delegated Commissioner.
With this and similar initiatives, Eni confirms its strong commitment to the sustainable reclamation of disused industrial areas, giving back to the territory important areas for new initiatives and development, while at the same time aiming at their maximum valorisation.
