Saipem says it has been awarded from Enilive, Eni's company dedicated to biorefining, biomethane production, smart mobility solutions and the distribution of all energy carriers for mobility, a new contract for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) activities aimed at expanding the Enilive biorefinery in Porto Marghera, near Venice, valued at approximately 155 million euros.
The award is part of the recently renewed collaboration agreement on biorefining between the two companies and follows Eni's assignment to Saipem of the contract for the start of preliminary detailed engineering activities, procurement services, and the purchase of critical equipment for the same project, communicated last March.
