据World Oil网莱切3月24日消息 意大利国家研究委员会(CNR)主席Massimo Inguscio和埃尼集团首席执行官Claudio Descalzi在去年5月举行会议后，签署了一项联合研究协议，将在意大利南部建立四个相互关联的研究中心。
CNR和埃尼集团的研究人员将在四个关键领域合作，包括能源领域的脱碳、促进循环经济和生物经济、支持更高效的水循环系统和创新的农业技术。这符合联合国2030年议程提出的主要可持续发展目标。
这项由位于莱切的CNR Nanotec研究所的Eni-CNR实验室进行的联合研究，致力于分析和量化与北极冰冻圈不稳定有关的气候过程，特别是永久冻土及其融化到北冰洋的影响。它们会增加目前全球变暖的速度，降低环境质量。埃尼集团和CNR的共同努力促成了意大利首个北极冰冻圈综合研究实验室的建立。
这一项目将推进循环经济建设，特别是涉及研究农业领域的脱碳以及如何将生物质废料用作埃尼生物炼油厂生产生物燃料的原料。与此同时，将进行研究和项目，以促进可持续农业的发展，可将土地用于各种各样的目的，包括种植更广泛的作物。这些方法支持生物经济，符合联合国可持续发展目标和欧盟关于生物经济和农业食品的研究项目。
埃尼集团首席执行官Claudio Descalzi评论道:“与CNR的合作是埃尼集团与意大利优秀研究机构紧密合作战略的一部分。我们很自豪与该国一些顶尖大学和研究机构签署了9项积极的战略协议，并已投资超过7358万美元(6700万欧元)，显示了我们对研发领域的承诺。”
CNR主席表示:“埃尼集团与CNR之间的协议，是一家大公司与意大利最重要的研究机构在科研人员数量、专利和ERC奖项方面建立合作关系的一个特例。它将使我们能够在意大利联合实验室的相互技能之间创造协同作用。”

Eni, CNR create R&D partnership for energy sector decarbonization
Massimo Inguscio, president of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), and Claudio Descalzi, Eni CEO, following their meeting held last May, have signed a Joint Research Agreement (JRA), to set up four linked research centers in southern Italy.
CNR and Eni researchers will work together on the four key areas relating to decarbonization in the energy sector, promoting the circular economy and bioeceonomy, and supporting more efficient water systems and innovative agricultural techniques. This is in keeping with the key Sustainable Development Goals outlined in the UN's 2030 Agenda.
The joint research conducted by the Eni-CNR laboratory at the CNR Nanotec Institute in Lecce is dedicated to analyzing and quantifying climate processes linked to the destabilization of the Arctic cryosphere, in particular the permafrost and the effects of it melting into the Arctic Ocean. They could increase the current rate of global warming and reduce environmental quality. Eni and CNR's joint effort has led to the first Italian laboratory for the integrated study of the Arctic cryosphere.
Projects aimed at promoting the circular economy will be carried out. They will specifically involve studying decarbonization efforts in the agricultural industry, as well as how biomass waste can be used as a raw material for producing biofuels in Eni's bio-refineries. At the same time, there will be studies and projects to increase the development of sustainable agriculture that uses land for a variety of purposes and involves planting a wider range of crops. These methods support the bioeconomy, in keeping with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and EU research programs on the bioeconomy and agri-food.
Eni CEO, Claudio Descalzi, comments: “This collaboration with CNR is part of Eni's strategy of close cooperation with Italy's excellent research institutions. We are proud to have nine active strategic agreements with some of the country's top universities and research bodies and to have invested over $73.58 million (67 million euros), demonstrating our commitment to the field of research and development.”
CNR President, Massimo Inguscio, says: “The agreement between Eni and CNR is a unique example of a partnership between a major company and Italy's most important research body in terms of numbers of researchers, patents and ERC prizes. It will allow us to create synergy between the mutual skills in the joint laboratories in Italy. ”
