Eni begins producing vegetable oil for biorefineries in Mozambique

In Mozambique, Eni Rovuma Basin (ERB) began production of vegetable oil late last year which will be used as feedstock in Eni’s biorefineries. This initiative is part of Eni’s strategy to contribute to the decarbonization of transportation, and it will include Mozambique in the value chain of sustainable mobility. 

The vegetable oil has been extracted from by-products from local agro-processing factories, that is certified under the ISCC-EU scheme, avoiding land use change, assuring traceability, respect of environment and human rights.

ERB plans to further develop the project in Mozambique, involving thousands of local farmers and developing the industrial platform for the agri-feedstocks’ production in the country, promoting socio-economic development in rural areas and regeneration of degraded agricultural land.
