Eni and Air Liquide to focus on the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate industries in Europe

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) represents one of the fundamental tools in the decarbonisation process, especially for the most carbon-intensive industrial sectors, and will play a key role in achieving the important emission reduction targets set at European level as part of the Green Deal.

Within the framework of the agreement, Eni and Air Liquide will collaborate to identify clusters of hard-to-abate industries in this geographic area and will define the best possible configuration to develop a large-scale CCS programme.

In particular, Air Liquide will develop competitive CO₂ abatement solutions, leveraging on its ongoing CCS initiatives in Northern Europe and on its innovative proprietary technology Cryocap^TM able to capture up to 95% of CO₂ emissions from industrial facilities.
