Eni and Enel to Jointly Develop Technologies for CO2 Capture
Posted on: Thursday, 23 October 2008, 09:00 CDT
Eni and Enel have signed a strategic co-operation agreement to develop technologies for the capture, transport and geological sequestration of CO2 and for the joint construction of the project in Brindisi, Italy.
Modern technologies allow to increase significantly the efficiency of thermal power stations and to lower drastically emissions of particulates, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, but the problem of atmospheric emissions of gases that are believed to contribute to the greenhouse effect, like CO2, produced during combustion, still remains to be solved.
Eni and Enel have decided to join forces in order to develop an initial integrated pilot project to test the entire process, from CO2 capture and its injection underground up to the monitoring and checks of the stability and safety of the deposit.
Fulvio Conti, CEO of Enel, said: "Today's agreement involves the two major Italian energy groups in the creation of the best solutions to fight climate change in a way that is effective and safe. These joint efforts offer Italy an opportunity to lead in the development of the most innovative technologies, which are attracting the attention of the major European and US energy companies and of international institutions."
