Eni accelerates drive to achieve zero emissions (2)

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 18 - Eni is accelerating its drive to achieve zero greenhouse emissions, the Italian energy giant said in the 2022-2025 strategic plan it presented on Friday.
    It said it was aiming to reduce emissions by 35% by 2030 and 80% by 2040 with respect to the level of 2018.
    It said 30% of investments would be devoted to new forms of energy by 2025 and this would go up to 60% by 2030.
    CEO Claudio Descalzi, meanwhile, said Eni was ready to supply more energy to the market to help compensate the knock-on effects of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
    "The war in Ukraine is forcing us to reconsider the world as we know it," Descalzi, said.
    "It is a humanitarian tragedy and has created new threats to energy security which we must meet without abandoning our ambitions for a just transition.
    "We can make available to the market more than 14 TCF ( trillion cubic feet) of additional gas resources for the short to medium term" (ANSA).
