The term "Energy Transition" refers to the process of shifting from conventional energy sources based on fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and natural gas) to more sustainable and low-carbon energy sources.
CLIMATE CRISIS: THE MAIN CAUSES
Global warming is a concerning phenomenon that is having a significant impact on our planet. Average Earth temperatures continue to rise, with devastating consequences for ecosystems, wildlife, and human life.
GREENHOUSE GASES
Greenhouse gas emissions are the primary cause of global warming. Gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) trap heat in the atmosphere, causing an enhanced greenhouse effect. The combustion of fossil fuels for energy, transportation, and industry is the main source of these emissions. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), human activities have increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations by 40% compared to pre-industrial levels.
INDUSTRIALIZATION
Industry and transportation are responsible for a large portion of greenhouse gas emissions. The industrial production of materials such as cement and steel requires a lot of energy, typically derived from fossil fuels. The transportation sector, including motor vehicles, airplanes, and ships, significantly contributes to CO2 emissions. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that transportation accounts for about 24% of global CO2 emissions related to energy.
DEPENDENCE ON NON-RENEWABLE SOURCES
Dependence on non-renewable energy sources such as coal and oil is one of the primary causes of global warming. Energy production from these fuels emits large amounts of CO2. According to the IPCC, in order to limit the increase in global temperature to 1.5°C, it is necessary to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 45% from 2010 levels by 2030.
WHY IS ENERGY TRANSITION NECESSARY?
Energy transition is essential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change, thus protecting the environment and improving air quality. It helps diversify energy sources, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and enhancing energy security. Energy transition promotes technological innovation, creates new sustainable jobs, and fosters a more equitable distribution of energy. Moreover, it contributes to fulfilling international agreements and ensuring a sustainable future for future generations.
OUR ROLE
Gruppo Antonini is committed to initiating the Energy Transition through future projects that will include deflating and CO2 capture operations, biorefineries, and the introduction of wind turbines.
FORGING THE FUTURE
MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
DEFLATING
This refers to the process of reducing pressure or deflating temporary systems used during the construction, placement, or maintenance of offshore structures.
The reduction of methane and other greenhouse gas emissions is urgent. Flaring and recovery facilities can decrease these emissions by up to 98%. According to McKinsey, the global market for these facilities could reach $5 billion by 2025. Gruppo Antonini is capable of developing advanced technologies for gas recovery, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing environmental impact.
BIORAFFINERIES
Bioraffineries are industrial plants designed to convert biomass (biological material of plant, animal, or microbial origin) into a wide range of useful products, including biofuels, chemicals, biodegradable materials, and other valuable chemical compounds.
The demand for biofuels is increasing due to decarbonization policies. According to the Renewable Energy Policy Network, global biofuel production is expected to grow by 7% annually, with investments potentially exceeding $70 billion by 2030. Gruppo Antonini is capable of providing advanced biofuel plants, supporting the transition to more sustainable energies.
WIND FARMS
The growth prospects for the wind farms sector are very positive. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global wind capacity will grow by 13% annually until 2026, reaching 1,900 GW, with global investments exceeding $1 trillion by 2030. Gruppo Antonini, with its experience in constructing both offshore and onshore facilities, can develop new wind farms in Italy and abroad, meeting the increasing demand for clean energy.
CO2 CAPTURE
CCUS technology (carbon capture, utilization, and storage) is essential to achieve carbon neutrality. According to the Global CCS Institute, CO2 storage capacity will need to increase by over 100 times by 2050 to meet climate targets, with estimated investments exceeding $160 billion by 2030. Gruppo Antonini can provide comprehensive solutions for CO2 capture and storage, assisting companies in reducing their emissions.
Energy efficiency is crucial for cost and emission reduction. According to Deloitte, improving energy efficiency can cut industrial energy costs by up to 30%. The industrial energy efficiency market is expected to grow at 9% annually, reaching $88 billion by 2027.
The opportunities in the green energy sector are vast and growing. Gruppo Antonini, with its experience in constructing complex facilities, is well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities. By continuing to invest in innovative technologies and collaborating with industry leaders such as ENI SpA and Saipem SpA, the company can strengthen its market position and contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable energy future.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
Antonini Group has the strategic goal of expanding its presence in the green energy sector. Specifically, it aims to focus on renewable energy, carbon neutrality technologies, and the energy transition.
Antonini Group, which has been collaborating with ENI SpA for over 50 years in the construction of oil platforms, skids, and other structures, also intends to grow in this emerging market.
In the coming years, Antonini Group aims to significantly expand in the green energy sector, maintaining manufacturing and research and development in the province of La Spezia, with facilities worldwide. The specific areas of industrial expansion include:
- Wind farms
- Flare and recovery plants CO2 capture
- Utilization, and storage technologies (CCUS)
- Energy efficiency optimization
- 'Green' conversion of process plants Biofuel plants
