In Congo, Eni inaugurated in Loudima, in the central-southern part of the Republic of the Congo, the first vegetable oil extraction plant in the country. The production will be destined to Enilive’s biorefineries, where it will be transformed into biofuel to help decarbonize transport sectors, as part of Eni’s sustainable mobility strategy.
With the launch of the Loudima agri-hub, the country takes on an active role in the biofuel production chain, in line with Eni’s strategic path to achieve net zero emissions from its products and processes by 2050.
The Loudima agri-hub, with a capacity of 30,000 tons per year of vegetable oil, will be supplied by oil crops grown on degraded and underutilized land or through intercropping systems, as part of an innovative regenerative agriculture project developed in collaboration with local stakeholders.
