Eni and Veritas are working together to promote the circular economy by transforming Venice’s waste materials into energy resources

As part of the agreement, a technical roundtable will be established to ascertain how industrial projects could transorm waste from urban collection into energy. Eni intends to build plants in the biorefinery area in Porto Marghera. The working group, composed of qualified technicians, will design the industrial plants to produce biomethane, bio oil and hydrogen. In particular, their work will focus on the design of a treatment plant for residues of plastic materials, aiming to produce hydrogen, and a treatment plant for organic materials to produce biomethane.

“Venice, the foremost Italian metropolitan area in recycling, is proving today that it has all the right credentials to be a virtuous example of cooperation for the development of the circular economy: nothing is thrown away and recycling produces wealth. What today is a cost and a problem, tomorrow becomes an advantage” - stated Luigi Brugnaro, Mayor of the City and of the Metropolitan City of Venice.
