The Italian oil and gas firm, Eni, has exported its first shipment of vegetable oil from Côte d’Ivoire, produced from rubber tree residues. This achievement aligns with Eni’s decarbonization strategy and commitment to sustainable development of local agricultural supply chains.
In 2023, Eni became the world’s first company to launch the industrial-scale transformation of rubber tree seeds into vegetable oil, with production certified according to the ISCC-EU standard.
The vegetable oil is then sent to Enilive biorefineries for the production of advanced biofuels, contributing to the decarbonization of transport.
The launch of vegetable oil exports from Côte d’Ivoire confirms Eni’s commitment to implementing new business models that prioritize environmental, social, and economic sustainability.
Eni has been present in Côte d’Ivoire since 2015, operating in hydrocarbon exploration and production while carrying out innovative initiatives to integrate the country into the sustainable mobility value chain.
Additionally, the company is developing projects in training, education, health, and economic diversification, investing in sustainable growth aligned with the goals of the National Development plans.
