However delegates of the 10th EU refining forum in late February said that liquid fuels continue to be used. By 2050, at least half of the energy will continue to be provided by liquid fuel but in a “low carbon form,” according to panel participants.

The decarbonization of Eni’s products will be achieved by expanding bio-refineries and renewables production, along with investing in carbon capture storage projects, among other initiatives.
