Eni and Fincantieri have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a partnership for promoting initiatives focused on the energy transition.
The aim is to create a system of integrated solutions for decarbonization projects in the fields of energy, transport and the circular economy.
Eni and Fincantieri have also identified areas of common interest for developing synergies, including reducing the environmental impact of the maritime transport sector, producing energy from renewable sources and the circular economy.
Under the MoU, Eni and Fincantieri will carry out a preliminary study to identify initiatives of common interest in the areas indicated, with the aim of launching subsequent joint technological or industrial innovation projects.
Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Eni, announced:
The energy transition is first and foremost a technological transition, and only companies with a strong industrial and innovative capacity, as well as the willingness to combine forces and skills, will be able to lead it
As for Giuseppe Bono, CEO of Fincantieri, he added that:
The agreement reaffirms the leading role that the industry has decided to play in the energy transition, a journey of profound innovation that our country has embarked on with determination
Under this agreement, the two companies also intend to renew and extend their existing agreements regarding the activities of interest, converging them under a single, harmonised governance between the technological innovation and business units, with a view to jointly promoting the excellence of the Italian system.
