Enilive produces hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO)-based biofuel from waste raw materials such as used cooking oils, animal fats and residues from the agri-food industry at its biorefineries in Venice and Gela.

“By the end of the year, Enilive plans to make marine HVO available for sale in the same way in the port of Venice,” it said.

Enilive currently has a biorefining capacity of about 1.65 million mt/year and aims to expand this to more than 5 million mt/yr by 2030.

In addition to the biorefineries in Venice and Gela, the company has a plant in Louisiana, US, while three other biorefineries are currently under construction in Malaysia, South Korea, and Livorno, Italy.
