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, which is purified to produce pure hydrogen or be used as a Recycled Carbon Fuel as provided by the Red Ii European directive on renewable energy. Five Fiat 500s from the Fca Group were tested using a mixture containing 15 methanol and 5 bioethanol.
