In Italy, Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi and MSC Group President, Diego Aponte, signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at developing joint initiatives in the field of sustainability and energy transition.
The agreement includes the potential use of LNG as well as lower-carbon energy carriers, such as HVO and bio-LNG biofuels, as well as lubricants from renewable raw materials, for use on MSC fleets dedicated to both logistics and cruise transport.
More generally, the agreement aims to create new synergies between the two companies’ operations, from logistics services to intermodal transport, covering both agro-industrial activities for the production of raw materials, including Agri feedstock, for biorefining, and the storage and transport of HVO biofuels through innovative intermodal sea, rail and road transport solutions. Other evaluation areas concern the support for decommissioning of national and international offshore platforms, joint research and development initiatives and collaborations in the Open-es framework, the platform and system alliance launched by Eni for value-chain sustainability.
