Eni inks biofuels deal with Poste Italiane

In Italy, Eni reported that Poste Italiane’s ground and air fleet will run on biofuels supplied by Enilive, Eni’s company dedicated to mobility services and products. 

This will accelerate Poste Italiane’s progress towards achieving its energy transition and carbon neutrality goals set for 2030, Eni said.

The two companies signed a Letter of Intent to start a collaboration based on the supply of biofuels produced in Enilive’s biorefineries by processing waste materials such as used cooking oils, animal fat and by-products from the agri-food industry.

Under the agreement, Enilive will supply HVOlution, a diesel produced from renewable feedstock, for road transport. For air transport, the collaboration involves the supply of JET A1+Eni Biojet at selected national airports in Italy. The fuel’s SAF component is produced by Enilive from 100% biological sources, and can be blended up to 50% with conventional jet fuel.

“This collaboration with Enilive marks a new chapter in our integration of ESG principles into our business strategy,” said Giuseppe Lasco, General Manager of Poste Italiane. “It allows us to power our fleet, which is the largest in the country, with biofuels, a solution that will enable us to reduce our use of fossil fuels more and more rapidly. The agreement will support our environmental policies and help drive the reduction of our carbon footprint, contributing to the green transition of the economy.”
