• How will Erb support farmers in Mozambique?
  • ERB will support farmers through know-how transfer and the introduction of mechanization and best practices, to further develop and strengthening local capabilities. Eni has been present in Mozambique since 2006; it is the delegated operator of the Coral South project, which was the first to produce gas in Mozambique’s Rovuma Basin.
  • What role does Mozambique play in Eni’s decarbonization strategy?
  • Mozambique plays an important role in Eni¡¯s decarbonization strategy, thanks to the agri-feedstock programs, forestry projects and other carbon offset initiatives, targeting Eni¡¯s residual emissions while positively impacting local communities in terms of economic and social development.
  • Which extraction techniques are limited by diffusion of solvents into biomass?
  • Conventional extraction techniques (maceration, decoction, leaching, percolation, digestion, hydro and steam distillation, etc.) are limited by the diffusion of solvents into biomass, due to the rigid structures of cell walls of plants.
  • Is extraction of natural products ¡°clean¡±?
  • Extraction of natural products was considered ¡°clean¡± when compared with the heavy chemical industries, but researchers and professional specialists know that its environmental impact is far greater than it first appeared. Essential oils are defined as products obtained from raw plant materials which must be isolated by physical means only.
  • Can extraction contribute to sustainable growth of chemical and food industries?
  • Extraction is one of the promising innovation themes that could contribute to the sustainable growth of the chemical and food industries.
  • Can liquefied gases be used as alternative solvents for vegetable extraction?
  • The technology of liquefied gases as alternative solvents for solid¨Cliquid vegetable extraction has been successfully validated by CELSIUS (Villette-de-Vienne, France) based on its patented process ¡°NECTACEL¡±.
