Eni, Fincantieri, and RINA have signed an agreement to develop joint initiatives to accelerate the energy transition of the maritime industry.
The partnership formalises the commitment to develop joint projects, in line with the partners’ strategies, to decarbonise the maritime sector in the medium to long term with the goal of Net Zero by 2050. Additionally, the establishment of a permanent global observatory regarding future technological, regulatory, and market developments will be evaluated.
The three companies will conduct a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the most sustainable alternatives to support the maritime decarbonisation pathway. This will also be based on the development of complementary solutions to fuels already available for other hard-to-abate sectors.
The partnership’s areas of interest also include an analysis of the reference energy infrastructure and the development of new logistic structures, including the investments that the sector requires.
Giuseppe Ricci, Chief Operating Officer for Energy Evolution at Eni, highlighted the potential of networking among the partners to find more effective solutions for decarbonising maritime transport and meeting the needs of shipowners and logistics operators.
Meanwhile, the CEO and Managing Director of Fincantieri, Pierroberto Folgiero expressed a strong commitment to supporting clients in addressing the industrial challenges of maritime energy transition. He mentioned that the initiative aims to create a hub of study to leverage Italy’s expertise in new technologies and novel fuels for the ship system.
We strongly believe in the value of collaboration and the opportunities it brings, particularly when it involves players of international calibre such as Eni and Fincantieri. Together, we have the opportunity to share knowledge and experience and to contribute to more sustainable solutions that support the shipping supply chain.
