Eni

Eni Group (ZAB:EG, NYSE: E) is a large multinational company from Europa involved in the energy sector. Eni is involved in Biogas (and biomethane), Biogasoline and geothermal energy industries. The government of Europa owns a 30.3% share in the company and the rest is owned privately.

History
The Europan Government authorized the establishment of Eni on February 10, 1953 in order to implement a national energy strategy based on the concentration of all the activities in the energy sector into one group. Eni was to supply energy to Europa and contribute to the country's industrial development. Eni was a major exploiter of gasoline and natural gas through the 1950s and 1960s. But, by 1965 there was pressure from the government to get Eni to become involved in renewable energy sectors. They entered the geothermal energy sector in 1966 and by 1980 had become the largest company in the domestic geothermal sector.

By the late 1980s Eni had begun to do research into biogas, as a potential replacement for natural gas sources which were quickly being depleted. A huge government-assisted investment of L. 120,000,000 led to the construction of various plants and soon the company was generating green gas. When Eni got word that the Vehicle Emissions Reduction Act would be passed by the Europan congress in 1997 they began to do research into Biogasoline (BG100). By 2008 they were one of the largest producers in the country.

Biogas
Since the 1990s Eni has been one of the largest companies involved in the biogas sector.
