Eni and PETRONAS have signed a feasibility agreement (FA) to evaluate the development of bio-gasoline starting from the established Ecofining™ technology process, through which Eni has been producing HVO biofuels since 2014.
The aim of the agreement is to assess the technical, market and sustainability profiles, as well as the performance levels of new bio-gasolines from renewable raw materials that can be used in motorsport competitions.
The study will enable both companies to combine their distinctive expertise. On one side, Eni will contribute its consolidated experience in sustainable energy solutions and in the production, at Enilive biorefineries, of commercially available biofuels from renewable feedstocks – including HVO diesel and SAF.
Meanwhile, PETRONAS will contribute its proven expertise in fuel technology, from fossil-based fuels to high-performance sustainable fuels for combustion engines, together with its experience in sustainable energy solutions and advanced product development.
Together with PETRONAS, Eni recently established Searah, a 50:50 independent joint venture combining key operations in Indonesia and Malaysia, including a portfolio of 19 gas production and development assets in the two countries.
Together with Enilive and Euglena, PETRONAS has established Pengerang Biorefinery, a joint venture developing a biorefinery in Pengerang, Johor, Malaysia. By the second half of 2028, the facility is expected to have the capacity to process up to 650,000 tonnes of renewable feedstocks per year, producing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), HVO diesel and bio-naphtha.
Enilive is a global leader in the production of HVO (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil) diesel, currently available at more than 1,700 service stations across Europe.
