據油田技術3月2日消息稱，埃尼集團與莫桑比克共和國農業和農村發展部(MADER)簽署了一項協議，合作開發莫桑比克的農業項目，旨在生產油籽和植物油，用于生產生物燃料的農業原料。

根據協議，埃尼集團和MADER將評估油料種子和植物油生產的潛在地點和最合適的作物，重點放在不會與糧食生產競爭的地區，并考慮到森林和自然生態系統的保護。其他舉措包括收集和評估農業和農業加工殘留物、副產品和副產物，用于生產生物原料和自然氣候解決方案。

該協議建立在埃尼集團和莫桑比克政府于2019年簽署的諒解備忘錄的基礎上，該諒解備忘錄旨在聯合定義可持續發展和脫碳項目，以支持該國的國家和地方經濟和社會發展議程。此外，這也符合埃尼集團加快化石燃料生產國能源轉型的承諾，通過旨在生產先進生物燃料的農業企業和工業發展倡議，促進非洲大陸融入生物燃料價值鏈，幫助運輸部門的脫碳和促進發展機會。

Eni, the Republic of Mozambique partner to produce agro-feedstock for biofuels

Eni and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Republic of Mozambique (MADER) signed an agreement for the cooperation and development of agricultural projects in Mozambique, aimed at producing oil seeds and vegetable oils to be used as agro-feedstock for the production of biofuels.

Under the agreement, Eni and MADER will assess potential sites and the most appropriate crops for the production of oil seeds and vegetable oils, focusing on areas that would not compete with food production and taking into consideration the preservation of forests and natural ecosystems. Other initiatives include the collection and valorization of agricultural and agro-processing residues, by-products and co-products, for production of biofeedstock and natural climate solutions.

The agreement builds on the MoU signed in 2019 by Eni and the Government of Mozambique for the joint definition of sustainable development and decarbonization projects to support the country’s national and local economic and social development agenda. Also, it is in line with Eni′s commitments to accelerate the energy transition in fossil fuel producing countries, promoting the integration of the African continent into the biofuel value chain through agribusiness and industrial development initiatives aimed at the production of advanced biofuels, helping the decarbonization of the transport sector and promoting development opportunities.
