Ravenna CCS, an Italian resource for national and European decarbonization.

Eni and Snam are developing a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project to reduce emissions from “hard to abate” industrial facilities.

Some data about the project

Exploiting the great capacity of the Adriatic Sea’s depleted natural gas fields, the Ravenna hub is set to become one of the world's largest CO2 storage sites.

CCS brings CO2 back underground

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) involves capturing the CO2 emitted by industrial plants and storing it permanently in underground rock formations.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about CCS

Here are some answers to the most common doubts concerning CO2 and CCS technologies in the context of decarbonization and energy transition.

Decarbonizing to support growth and jobs

CCS makes it possible to reduce the impact of hard-to-abate sectors, keeping companies competitive and reducing the risk of relocation.

1,270,000 people

working in the hard-to-abate sectors in Italy according to the study by The European House-Ambrosetti

700 companies

Active in har-to-abate companies in Italy

€62.5 billion

Value added by hard-to-abate companies in Italy

Growth and increased sustainability

CCS projects can generate growth and development opportunities because they make industrial activities more competitive by reducing their CO2 emissions.

The global context

CO2 capture and storage projects are promoted by major international organisations. Europe is a leader in the development of projects in this area.
