Kinetics Technology (Kt), a subsidiary of the Maire group, has been awarded an Energy Performance (EPC) contract by Eni for the construction of a hydrogen production plant in the Enidi Livorno refinery.
This was announced in a statement from Maire, which specifies that the overall value of the contract is 123 million, with the completion of the project expected in 2026.
The plant, which will be designed and built by Kt, will process natural gas and raw materials biogenic waste such as cooking oils and animal fats, as well as residues from the agri-food industry, to produce hydrogen intended for the production of biofuels for mobility.
The plant was designed so that a residual carbon dioxide capture unit could be implemented at a later stage.
The construction of the new unit is part of Eni's project to convert the Livorno plant into a biorefinery.
