Ravenna CCS Project

By reusing depleted fields in the Adriatic, the Ravenna hub will contribute to the decarbonization of Italian and European industry.

Our activities in Ravenna

Eni and Snam start the CO2 injection activities for phase 1 of the Ravenna CCS project.

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 and the benchmark in the Mediterranean.

2027 starting

The benefits for the Ravenna area

The Ravenna CCS project turns a commitment to reducing CO2 emissions into an opportunity for growth and development for the Ravenna district.

The crucial role of CCUS for decarbonization

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 and the benchmark in the Mediterranean.

68 Mton

CO2 from Italian hard-to-abate industries (2021)

> 90 %

CCS chimney emission reduction capacity

8.5 %

Global emissions reduction by 2050 with CCUS (IEA - International Energy Agency)

2.4 Gton

CO2 captured globally from the Hard to Abate sector by 2050

The Ravenna CCS will create an Italian decarbonization chain

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