Italy's Eni S.p.A. (Eni) today announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Fincantieri S.p.A. (Fincantieri) for a research and development partnership that could see the two companies carry out studies on energy projects related to natural gas, including its use as marine fuel.
"The MoU is part of Eni's strategy to tackle climate change, promote sustainable development, and support the use of gas for transport," said Eni.
"It strengthens Eni's collaboration with the Italian excellences and underlines the company's commitment to minimise CO2 emissions, particularly in the naval sector."
The agreement is noted to cover a wide range of potential partnerships, including the study of initiatives related to the natural gas transport chain, LNG, and the exploitation of gas resources.
