Eni and Egypt's Bioenergy Association Partner on Carbon Offset and Biogas Projects

Key highlights
  • Eni and Egypt's Bioenergy Association signed an agreement to study biogas production from agricultural and animal waste.
  • The study will evaluate a biodigestion plant to generate renewable electricity, heat, and organic fertilizers.
  • The initiative aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and produce carbon credits.
  • The project aligns with Egypt's goal to expand biogas technology and Eni's carbon neutrality strategy.

Agreement Overview

Eni and the Bioenergy Association for Sustainable Development, linked to Egypt's Ministry of Environment, have signed a cooperation agreement in Cairo. The agreement focuses on preparing a feasibility study for biogas production units using animal and agricultural waste.

Project Goals

The joint study will explore the potential for a biodigestion plant to treat agricultural and animal waste, particularly from livestock. The biogas produced can generate renewable electricity and heat, and create organic fertilizers, supporting the circular economy. This initiative aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and generate carbon credits.

Strategic Alignment

The agreement aligns with Egypt's Ministry of Environment's goal to expand biogas technology across the country and develop sustainable energy solutions. It also supports Eni's strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 through integrated emission reduction and resource efficiency solutions.
