Marine sustainability through biofuels

The maritime sector is responsible for around 3% of globalCO2 emissions, and the path towards its decarbonisation – aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050 – is certainly not without its complexities. To help “accelerate” this path, Eni, together with Fincantieri – a global shipbuilding company – and RINA – a...

The electric and digital way to decarbonise the seas

Maritime transport is a key pillar of global trade and, at the same time, a non-negligible source of emissions. Estimates indicate that ships are responsible for around 2% of global energy-relatedCO2 emissions: an only apparently modest contribution which – according to forecasts – could increase by 50% by 2050 due...

Between fission, fusion and digital: can nuclear energy save the climate?

In the global debate on the ecological transition,nuclear energy has returned to centre stage. After having long been marginalised by high costs, safety concerns and public opposition, three main factors are now fuelling its reappraisal: the urgency of decarbonisation, geopolitical instability linked to fossil fuels and, last but not least,...

When digital supports efficient energy management

As photographed by recent ISPRA data, the emission categories of the energy sector contribute more than 80% of total greenhouse gas emissions in our country: about one fifth of national emissions, in detail, come from energy production. And while in 2024 the global demand for energy increased at a higher...
