Eni launches 100% biofuel at 50 stations in Italy
Produced from waste raw materials, vegetable residues and oils, HVOlution will now be available to the public.
Eni has launched its first diesel fuel produced from 100% renewable raw materials. HVOlution is now available at 50 stations, by March it will be expanded to 150 locations.
HVOlution is a biofuel produced from waste raw materials and plant residues, and from oils generated by crops that do not compete with the food chain. HVOlution can contribute to the immediate decarbonisation of the transport sector as it can be used with current infrastructures and in all type-approved engines.
The innovative biofuel began with an investment made in 2014 with the transformation of the Venice and Gela refineries into biorefineries, which from the end of 2022 will be palm oil free.
"This product enriches the offer at service stations, complementing the current proposal of low-carbon products, such as electric recharges, and services for people on the move: Eni Sustainable Mobility's objective is to integrate industrial and commercial assets along the entire value chain, from the availability of the raw material to the sale of decarbonised products to the end customer,” said Stefano Ballista, CEO of Eni Sustainable Mobility.
Eni has signed agreements and partnerships to use waste and scrap as feedstock for the production of biofuels such as HVOlution. In several countries in Africa, including Kenya, Mozambique and Congo, Eni is developing a network of agri-hubs where vegetable oils will be produced that can grow in marginal soils and degraded areas and are not in competition with the food chain, according to Eni.
