NEW SOLUTIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY In addition to the research projects already mentioned on biofuels and hydrogen, Eni is investing in new fuels produced from waste: in this area a project is currently being assessed at the Livorno Re- finery involving production of methanol by high temperature gasification with oxygen of solid urban waste, made up of non-recyclable plastic waste (Plasmix, a mix of plastics not currently recyclable and SSF, Secondary Solid Fuel). The process is based on production of a synthetic gas from carbon-based material. The synthetic gas produced in this way is first purified so that it can subsequently be used to synthesise methanol or to produce pure hydrogen. Methanol produced using waste as a raw material could be considered as a Recycled Carbon Fuel, as provided for by the RED II European directive on renewable energy, and therefore assimilable to a biofuel. It can be used in petrols by transformation into MTBE, or mixed with experimental high alcohol content petrols together with bioethanol (A20 pet- rol). A new fuel, A20, based on a mix containing 15% methanol and 5% bioethanol has been developed with the FCA Group and subjected to a 13-month test in which five Fiat 500s of the Enjoy fleet travelled about 50,000 km, when rented out for a total of 9,000 times, without encountering any problems. A Waste to Fuel technology has also been developed that is able to convert the organic fraction of solid municipal waste (OFMSW) into bio-oil (see box on p. 39 of Eni for 2019 - A just transition).
