The partners will also outline energy efficiency initiatives, renewable energy developments, green hydrogen projects, and CO₂ capture and storage projects.

Furthermore, Eni and Sonatrach will undertake studies to identify measures to improve its energy export capacity to Europe from Algeria.

Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi said: “These agreements bear witness to our commitment to ensuring Italy’s security of supply while at the same time pursuing our decarbonisation objectives.”

In October 2022, Eni commenced production from two gas fields in Algeria to meet the surging gas demand in the European market.

At that time, Eni said the two fields’ production capacity was anticipated to reach two million cubic metres by the end of the same year.
