ENERGYNEST’s ThermalBattery™ will be part of one of the oil and gas group Eni’s industrial decarbonisation projects. The integration of the thermal storage system into the oil treatment plant contributes to significantly reducing CO2 emissions and improving energy efficiency. The team of ENERGYNEST is proud to accompany Eni in its mission to be a global decarbonization leader.

The project, located in Eni’s Gela (Sicily) production site, has the objective of integrating renewables in the industrial process, in particular for the production of steam. The ThermalBattery™ will be connected to a concentrated solar power (CSP) system based on Eni’s proprietary technology and combined with a micro-turbine for electricity production.

 

Ensuring security of supply and reducing emissions

 

By integrating the ThermalBattery™, steam production can continue continuously during the day and for several hours at night without having to resort to fossil fuels, which helps to improve the production plant’s carbon footprint. Savings of 60 tonnes of CO2 per year are possible.

 

Eni’s decarbonization efforts are addressing the dual challenge of satisfying increasing energy needs, while reducing emissions in line with the Paris Agreement goals. Reducing fossil fuel consumption across its oil treatment and refinery assets is an elementary contributor to Eni’s objective of reaching net zero emissions in its upstream business until 2030.

Replace your gas boiler with an intelligent integrated solution that combines the advantages of our modular ThermalBattery™ technology with complementary components such as electric heaters and, depending on the system configuration, optional steam generators or heat exchangers.
