Anaergia, Eni, and CREvolution Launch €50M Circular HVO Platform at Gela Biorefinery
Event summary
- Anaergia secures €50M contract with CREvolution for anaerobic digestion tech at Eni’s Gela biorefinery, including C$13M in equipment.
- Project aims to recover 80% of degumming soil residues and generate 70,000 MWh of renewable natural gas (RNG) annually.
- Installation and commissioning expected to be completed by May 2027.
- Technology designed for replication across global biorefineries, targeting the rapidly expanding HVO market.
The big picture
The partnership underscores the growing demand for scalable, low-carbon solutions in the HVO sector, with the Gela biorefinery serving as a demonstration facility for a circular economy model. The initiative aligns with global climate policy tailwinds and positions Anaergia, Eni, and CREvolution at the forefront of sustainable HVO production. The project’s success could set a new benchmark for waste reduction, cost optimization, and circularity in biorefining operations worldwide.
