of methane fugitive emissions and the realization of projects based on energy
efficiency;
• ‘low carbon’ and resilient Oil & Gas portfolio: Eni’s portfolio is characterized
by a high share of natural gas (more than 50%), a bridge towards reduced
future emissions. The main upstream projects in execution present an average
breakeven at a Brent price of approximately 25 $/barrel, resilient to low
carbon scenario;
• development of renewable sources and green business: the promotion of
renewable sources targets an installed power capacity of approximately 5 GW
by 2025.
In the medium term, Eni targets the net zero carbon footprint by 2030, relating to
direct emissions of the upstream equity assets, by maximizing the decarbonization
initiatives and developing forestry projects offsetting residual upstream emissions.
A central role will be played by those solutions addressed to capture, store and reuse
CO2. Another lever of our decarbonization path is the development of circular
economy initiatives aimed at waste and bio-mass valorization in order to extract new
energy, new products or materials and revitalized dismissed or decommissioned
assets.”115
“Growing worldwide public concern over greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and
climate change, as well as increasingly regulations in this area, could adversely
affect the Group’s business and reputation, increase its operating costs and reduce
its results of operations, cash flow, financial condition, business prospects and
shareholders returns. Those risks may emerge in the short and medium-term, as well
as over the long-term.
The scientific community has established a link between climate change and
increasing GHG concentration in the atmosphere. International efforts to limit global
warming have led, and Eni expects them to continue to lead, to new laws and
regulations designed to reduce GHG emissions that are expected to bring about a
gradual reduction in the use of fossil fuel over the medium to long-term, notably
through the diversification of the energy mix.

Further, in some countries, governments and regulators have filed lawsuits seeking
to hold fossil fuel companies, including Eni, liable for costs associated with climate
change. Losing any of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and business prospects.”116
