Read MoreHide Full Article
Italian oil giant Eni S.p.A. (E - Free Report) and U.K.-based vehicle company, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop research projects and applications that reduce carbon emission from modes of transport. The agreement in the presence of Italian Prime Minister, Paolo Gentiloni is in line with both companies' strategy to focus on carbon emission reduction.
Per Eni, the agreement will enable the companies to research extensively on technologies related to compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). These technologies are expected to enable the companies to reduce tank weights and increase mileage. Moreover, Eni announced that it has developed a new kind of petrol, which includes 15% methanol and 5% bioethanol to reduce emissions. Usage of methanol in the fuel enables to significantly reduce emissions. Eni and Fiat Chrysler will together test this new type of petrol in five Fiat 500 Enjoy fleet cars. Eni believes this type of petrol can reduce around 4.3% carbon emissions.
Of the total carbon emissions, road transport vehicles alone are responsible for approximately 23%. The companies are also taking this matter into consideration and testing new types of fuels in existing modes of transport to assess their importance. The companies are testing the use of increased proportion of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil or HVO in diesel for existing motors, which reduces emissions by 60% during the production process.
About the Company
Eni with its consolidated subsidiaries is engaged in oil and gas, electricity generation, petrochemicals, oilfield services and engineering industries. The company’s major business segments are Exploration and Production (E&P), Gas and Power, and Refining and Marketing. The company conducts its major exploration and production activities for hydrocarbons. In addition, Eni is involved in offshore and onshore hydrocarbon field construction.
