Ravenna, a model for energy transition

Eni has built the main Italian Energy District in Ravenna, central to Eni’s and the Country’s decarbonization and to CO₂ storage. The production of thermal energy and electricity, chemicals, area remediation and productive redevelopment up to photovoltaics and the circular economy, have been added to the initial methane extraction and upstream development.

the Ponticelle enhancement and productive redevelopment plan includes a photovoltaic plant with a storage lab for energy storage, a platform for bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil, and a multifunctional platform for pre-treatment of waste from industrial and environmental activities. Eni, with Distretto Centro Settentrionale - Upstream has launched a project to build a CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) hub, using existing gas extraction infrastructure, which will be converted to the reverse process of CO₂ injection, in offshore depleted gas fields in the Ravenna area with a potential of 500 million tonnes of storage.
