Saipem has been awarded the primary contract by Eni Industrial Evolution for the development of the new Priolo biorefinery, a project initially announced by Eni and Q8 Italia.
The contract is valued at approximately €700 million upon completion, with project execution scheduled through to the end of 2028. It covers a full scope of engineering, procurement, and construction activities.
This award further strengthens the ongoing collaboration between Eni and Saipem in the biorefining sector, building on their partnership established in 2023 and later extended in 2025. The scope includes detailed engineering, material procurement, and construction of the key process units for the facility.
The upcoming biorefinery will have an annual processing capacity of around 500,000 tonnes and is designed to deliver operational flexibility for the production of SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) and HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) diesel.
With this latest contract, Saipem reinforces its position in the biorefinery segment, leveraging its expertise in complex engineering and construction projects that support industrial transformation and the broader energy transition.
