Eni has gained approval to convert units at its Sannazzaro de’ Burgondi refinery into a biorefinery, using Ecofining tech and a new pre-treatment unit for waste feedstocks.
Starting in 2028, it will produce HVO diesel and SAF-biojet alongside traditional fuels, with 550,000 t/y capacity.
The project boosts Eni’s goal to expand biorefining to over 5 million tonnes per year by 2030.
