| Additional Information |
In our Venice refinery we are currently assessing the implementation of our Waste-to-Hydrogen project, which is based on an innovative gasification technology. It is a process for the production of sustainable hydrogen through the gasification of non-recyclable waste (i.e. Plasmix1 and SSF2) – waste that is currently used in waste-to-energy plants or sent to landfill. It allows for the production of sustainable H2 in synergy with refinery plants, therefore helping to reduce emissions linked to conventional waste treatment and conventional hydrogen production. With an on-site gasification system for hydrogen production, a GHG saving of 90% can be achieved compared to hydrogen production from steam reforming. The calculation of GHG savings is carried out on a life-cycle analysis (LCA) basis and takes into account the emissions avoided by using waste as feedstock for the Waste-to-Hydrogen project instead of as feedstock for a conventional waste-to-energy plant.
1 Plasmix: non-recyclable plastic waste
2 SSF: secondary solid fuel – fraction derived from sorted waste in mechanical-biological treatment plants
