Eni, the Republic of Benin ink deal to develop the agro-industrial chain for biorefining
Eni and the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Republic of Benin signs a cooperation agreement to develop joint initiatives on the agro-industrial chain, for biorefining use.
Under the terms of the agreement, the parts will evaluate potential opportunities in the country in the field of agriculture and vegetable raw material to develop oil crops for Eni’s biorefining system. More in details, the cooperation agreement focuses on the low indirect land use change crops identified in areas subject to natural and anthropic degradation, thus valorizing marginal lands while not competing with the food chain.
The agreement will allow Eni to contribute to the development of new industrial models in the country, ensuring the sustainability along the whole agro-feedstock supply chain. It will play a key role in the energy transition for both Eni and the Republic of Benin, which is already a net negative CO2 issuer. Also, it will benefit the employment market and the economic sector, capitalizing on the competitiveness of a local industry with a solid agricultural vocation.
