The Eni refinery in Livorno, located in Tuscany, is a historic industrial site founded in 1939. Originally established as a traditional oil refinery for processing crude oil, the infrastructure is now at the center of one of the most important Italian energy transition projects, aimed at its complete conversion into a latest-generation biorefinery. Once the transformation is complete, the facility will no longer process fossil fuels, but will exclusively treat biogenic feedstocks, such as used cooking oils, waste animal fats, and agri-food industry residues, to transform them into hydrogenated biofuels. With this new industrial asset, the project pursues a twofold objective. On one hand, it aims to produce clean fuels by replacing oil with biological waste and used cooking oils; this reduces CO₂ emissions in transport and helps Eni reach the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. On the other hand, the conversion serves to save the factory and jobs, transforming an old plant that was at risk of closure into a modern site, thereby guaranteeing employment for all workers in the Livorno area.

H2H Saltend is a low-carbon hydrogen production project led by Equinor and the anchor project of the Zero Carbon Humber initiative. Located at Saltend Chemicals Park near Hull, in northeast England, the facility will produce blue hydrogen from natural gas using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. The project is designed to supply low-carbon hydrogen to industrial users, helping to reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 900,000 tonnes per year while supporting the decarbonization of the Humber industrial cluster and the UK’s transition to a net-zero economy.
