This briefing examines ENI’s growing investment in biofuels and the environmental, social and economic concerns associated with its expansion strategy. While the company presents biofuels as a key component of its energy transition, evidence highlighted in this report raises serious questions about feedstock sourcing, transparency, greenwashing, land use impacts and continued reliance on commodities linked to deforestation.
Drawing on recent investigations and case studies, the briefing explores ENI’s biofuel operations in Africa, its ongoing use of palm-derived feedstocks, and wider concerns surrounding waste-based biofuel supply chains. It provides an overview of why ENI’s biofuel ambitions should be scrutinised as part of the broader debate about climate action, corporate accountability and the future of transport fuels.
