Eni's plan to store industrial pollution beneath the sea in Ravenna, Italy, could save jobs and money for old-line industries facing pressure to reduce emissions. The company aims to capture and store carbon dioxide from manufacturing plants in old natural gas reservoirs, creating a new business line while aiding the shift to cleaner activities. Eni plans to expand the project to other large polluters in Italy and possibly France, with the goal of burying up to 16 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. However, launching carbon capture projects is proving to be a challenge, requiring government support and significant investment. Despite obstacles, businesses are increasingly considering carbon capture projects due to pressure from customers and carbon taxes. The British government has already backed Eni's work in this area, and negotiations with the Italian government are ongoing. While some environmental groups cautiously support carbon capture as a means of capturing inevitable CO2 emissions, they emphasize that it should not be used to prolong the use of fossil fuels.
