Eni and Petronas explore innovative biofuel solutions
In Italy, Eni and Petronas have signed a feasibility agreement (FA) to evaluate the development of innovative high-performance bio-gasoline starting from the established Ecofining technology process, through which Eni has been producing HVO biofuels from renewable raw materials since 2014.
The partners said that the aim of the agreement is to assess the technical, market, and sustainability profiles, as well as the performance levels of new bio-gasolines from renewable raw materials, that can be used in motorsport competitions and subsequently applied to the development of commercial products.
The study will enable both companies to combine their expertise. On one side, Eni will contribute its consolidated experience in sustainable energy solutions and in the production, at Enilive biorefineries, of commercially available biofuels from renewable feedstocks – including HVO diesel and SAF-biojet – as well as the development of innovative bio-gasoline. Meanwhile, Petronas will contribute its expertise in fuel technology, from fossil-based fuels to high-performance sustainable fuels for combustion engines, together with its experience in sustainable energy solutions and advanced product development.
