The Livorno refinery is of strategic importance to the Italian economic system and we are planning to convert it into a bio-refinery by 2026, following the successful models implemented in Venice in 2014 and Gela in 2019. With the Oilà project, we collect used cooking oils from employees, converting highly polluting used vegetable oil into a new energy source.

Refining and biorefining
We operate a refining plant in the area and, in line with our decarbonisation goals, we plan to transform the site into new biorefinery facilities.
Bioenergy
Through the Oilà project, we develop circular economy initiatives to transform polluting waste into new energy resources.

The conversion of the industrial site into a biorefinery
The Livorno refinery has a long industrial tradition. Eni has managing it since 1954, but the first activities began in 1938. Over the decades, its facilities have been completely upgraded and the refinery has been a key facility for refining in Italy for a long time, thanks in part to two oil pipelines connecting it with the port of Livorno and the Florence depot, the presence of a large tank part and numerous platforms for loading road and rail tankers.
The conversion of the industrial site into a biorefinery, a strategic decision in our decarbonization pathway, involves halting crude oil imports and subsequently shutting down the lubricant production lines and the topping plant. We plan to ensure the distribution of fuels throughout the area by importing finished and semi-finished products.

The creation of new biorefinery plants
The refinery conversion project, as we await the approval of official authorisations, includes the construction of three new facilities for the production of hydrogenated biofuels:
- a biogenic feedstock pre-treatment unit
- an Ecofining™ plant
- a plant for the production of hydrogen from methane gas.
The plants will process various biogenic feedstocks, mainly vegetable waste and residue, to produce HVO diesel, HVO naphtha and bio-LPG.
The creation of the biorefinery will ensure a productive and employment future for Livorno.

A concrete and positive example of circular economy
To recover used cooking oils collected by its employees, the refinery also launched the Oilà project, an initiative inspired by the circular economy and implemented at other Eni sites. It turns highly polluting waste such as used vegetable oil into a useful resource, contributing to sustainability and reducing the environmental impact. These types of initiatives not only promote material reuse but also help raise awareness among employees and local communities of the importance of recycling and responsible waste management.
