Eni has signed a contract with Abu Dhabi National Oil Co to explore collaboration on carbon capture, utilization and storage to lower CO₂ emissions from the Emirati company’s operations. ADNOC has a target of lowering its greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 25% by 2030, a key plank of which will be installing more carbon capture and storage, increasing the current capture capacity of 800,000 to 5 million tonnes of CO₂/yr. Eni will also be looking to institute more CCS, and CEO Claudio Descalzi said of the agreement that the two companies “will collaborate to pursue new mid-term solutions aimed at leading the current energy transition in line with Eni’s decarbonization strategy aimed to achieve net-zero emissions in its upstream business by 2030”.
