Eni has launched the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which will make a significant contribution to the decarbonization of aviation in both the short and medium term.
Eni SAF is produced exclusively from bio-waste and residues. In line with the strategic decision, the company will also stop using palm oil in its production by 2023.
This product, called “Eni Biojet”, contains 100% biogenic component and can be mixed with conventional jet fuel at up to 50%.
Eni plans to double its current bio-refining capacity of 1.1 million tons per year over the next four years, and increase production to 5-6 million tons by 2050. The so-called biojet will play a significant role in the product range, in line with industry forecasts and market trends. The goal of Italy’s largest oil and gas company is to reach a production capacity of at least 500,000 tons of aviation biofuel per year by 2030.
