Eni to sell 49.99% stake in CCUS Holding
Eni has entered into an agreement to sell a 49.99% stake in Eni CCUS Holding to Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a part of BlackRock and an infrastructure investor. The deal aims to maximise the industrial potential and improve the value of Eni's carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) projects. Eni CCUS Holding, a company in the CCUS sector, operates the Liverpool Bay and Bacton projects in the UK, with Liverpool Bay crucial to the HyNet industrial cluster. The company also manages the L10-CCS project in the Netherlands and has rights to purchase a 50% stake in Italy's Ravenna CCS (carbon capture and storage) project. In the medium to long-term, the company is expected to develop a broader platform of CCUS initiatives. Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi said: 'The decision to consolidate our CCUS global portfolio into a dedicated entity, and the entry of GIP as a strategic partner, will further enhance our ability to deliver large-scale, technically advanced decarbonisation solutions. 'The development of our satellite model applied to our businesses related to the energy transition is therefore successfully continuing, confirming their significant attractiveness in terms of growth potential and value creation by attracting aligned capital, as well as their effectiveness in reducing emissions.' The agreement, which solidifies discussions that began last May, will see Eni and GIP holding joint control of the company. This transaction's closure is contingent on legal approvals. GIP's entry is a pivotal step in bolstering the business case for CCUS and the growth of Eni CCUS Holding, a component of Eni's satellite model that showcases the value of its energy transition businesses. CCUS technology is recognised as a mature and safe method of decarbonisation, serving as a critical tool to support hard-to-decarbonise industries in their efforts to reduce emissions. GIP chairman and CEO Bayo Ogunlesi said: 'We are excited to partner with Eni, a global leader in CCUS. 'GIP's experience in midstream infrastructure, combined with Eni's technical, operational and industrial capabilities, will help accelerate the deployment of CCUS solutions at meaningful scale, furthering our commitment to serve growing market needs for affordable, decarbonised energy and products.'

Eni Sells 49.99% Stake in CCUS Unit to BlackRock's GIP
Italian energy group Eni has signed an agreement to sell a 49.99% stake in its carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) business to Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), part of BlackRock, marking a major step in its energy transition strategy. The deal value was not disclosed. The partnership consolidates Eni's CCUS portfolio into a single entity, Eni CCUS Holding, which will be jointly controlled by Eni and GIP. The company manages some of Europe's most advanced projects, including Liverpool Bay and Bacton in the UK, the L10 project in the Netherlands, and future rights to Eni's Ravenna CCS project in Italy developed with gas grid operator Snam. The Liverpool Bay hub is already under construction as the backbone of the HyNet industrial cluster, supported by a defined regulatory and commercial framework and an existing financing plan. Eni said the move reflects its broader 'satellite model' strategy of selling minority stakes in energy transition businesses to fund growth, attract capital, and accelerate decarbonization. CEO Claudio Descalzi noted that the deal will 'enhance our ability to deliver large-scale, technically advanced decarbonization solutions,' underscoring the attractiveness of CCUS in driving value creation while reducing emissions. For GIP, the investment marks a significant expansion into carbon capture. 'We are excited to partner with Eni, a global leader in CCUS,' said GIP Chairman and CEO Bayo Ogunlesi. 'Our experience in midstream infrastructure, combined with Eni's technical expertise, will help accelerate deployment of CCUS at scale, serving growing market needs for affordable, decarbonized energy and products.' The transaction, first flagged in exclusive talks announced in May, remains subject to regulatory approvals. Once closed, it will reinforce the business case for CCUS, a technology viewed as one of the most effective tools to cut emissions from hard-to-abate industries such as steel, cement, and refining.
