In addition to their research projects on biofuels and hydrogen, Eni is also investing in new fuels from waste. A project at the Livorno Re-finery involves producing methanol through high temperature gasification of non-recyclable plastic waste. This process involves purifying it to produce a synthetic gas that can be used as a Recycled Carbon Fuel as provided by the Red Ii European directive on renewable energy. This new fuel, A20, has been tested in a 13-month period with the Fca Group.
