Environmental commitment

We are committed to climate, to reducing pollution, protecting ecosystems and enhancing water resources

We are working to build a sustainable energy transition, reducing the environmental impact of our activities through innovation, efficiency and sustainable development. We are committed to protecting ecosystems through concrete environmental conservation and enhancement actions, biodiversity protection and the sustainable use of water resources.

Goals and metrics

The intermediate goals already achieved thanks to the constant commitment to a sustainable energy transition open the way for future goals to be reached through research, innovation and experimentation. Here are some of our 2030 targets, which we will examine in detail for each theme.

Climate change

We have always been committed to promoting clean and affordable energy by developing economic, reliable and sustainable systems. We continuously invest in more efficient production methods with reduced environmental impact, supported by research and innovation of the best available technologies. Thanks to this commitment, we have established ourselves as key players in the energy security and decarbonization of Italy. Our growth strategy is deeply rooted in sustainability values and based on a number of strategic levers.

Water and marine resources

We adopt and plan actions related to the theme of water resources considering the different levels of the mitigation hierarchy: avoid and reduce the use of water and marine resources, reuse the water resource, restoring and regenerating aquatic and water body ecosystems. We follow the principles of responsible energy operator, respecting the current environmental legislation and the requirements received during the authorization for the construction of new plants or revamping. The actions described are carried out annually and also involve actors in the downstream value chain with regard to multiple water use.

Biodiversity and ecosystems

For the life of the planet and the well-being of mankind, we recognize as fundamental the conservation of ecosystems such as dynamic complexes of plants, animals and micro-organisms, as well as biodiversity, understood as variability of life in terms of species and ecosystems, and related ecosystem services. Our commitment to the energy transition and our focus on the communities and territories in which we operate are reflected in the positive impacts that our assets generate on biodiversity and ecosystems in general.

Resource use and circular economy

The transition to a circular economy model, where the rational use of energy goes hand in hand with that of other natural resources, plays a crucial role in addressing today’s environmental challenges. To facilitate a sustainable energy transition in the country, we invest in research and development of more efficient production technologies with low environmental impact. Achieving ambitious decarbonisation targets requires a systemic transformation, which we pursue by leveraging our internal expertise to innovate asset management, with the aim of maximising their competitiveness and reducing their dependence on critical resources.

Pollution prevention

We adopt a structured approach to mitigate pollution, based on prevention, reduction and restoration of impacted ecosystems. We operate in compliance with environmental regulations, applying the UNI EN ISO 14001 Environmental Management System and the EMAS Regulation. In addition, the thermal power plants of Presenzano and Marghera Levante reduce NOx emissions by more than 60% compared to similar plants, thanks to an advanced catalytic abatement system. We have developed a liquid natural gas (LNG) supply chain for heavy and maritime transport, covering supply, storage and distribution. Compared to conventional fuels, LNG significantly reduces the environmental impact with near zero SOx oxides, a 60% reduction in NOx oxides and up to 90% of particulates. In 2024, the Ravenna plant increased the number of tankers loaded, helping to reduce emissions. In addition, we have started bunkering activities in the Adriatic Sea, encouraging the use of LNG also in the shipping sector.
