Eni (E) Plans Stake Sales in Biofuel, Bioplastic Units
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eni SpA (E - Free Report) , a leading global energy company, is eyeing the sale of minority stakes in its biofuel and bioplastic units by the end of this year, per a Reuters report. This strategic decision could potentially generate around €1.3 billion, marking a significant step in the company's efforts to expedite its energy transition.
Eni has initiated discussions with both financial funds and industrial investors to identify potential partners interested in acquiring stakes of up to 10% in its biofuel unit, Enilive. Simultaneously, the company is in talks with two potential buyers to offload up to 30% of its Novamont bioplastic business. Novamont, headquartered in Piedmont, is a leading producer of bioplastics worldwide and is owned by Eni through its Versalis chemical unit.
The potential sale of these stakes, if realized, could value the Novamont bioplastic business at around €1 billion, including debt. This move highlights Eni's commitment to diversifying its portfolio and increasing its focus on sustainable energy solutions.
Per the report, these divestment efforts are aligned with Eni's broader strategy of establishing separate entities, referred to as "satellite" companies, which can attract specialized investors. By doing so, Eni aims to secure funding for its sustainable ventures without compromising resources allocated to traditional oil and gas activities.
