Renewable Energy Systems
Saipem is involved in developing a range of plants design and execution services for the optimal application of renewable technologies. The mission in renewable energy systems is to define, design and build complex plants in selected target markets.
The core team for renewable energies covers biomass, waste to energy, solar, wind energy, geothermal energy and hydroelectric.
Biomass
UOP/ENI Process for Green Diesel Fuel Production
ECOFININGTM is an innovative process that converts vegetable oils and waste to green diesel fuels. The process has been jointly developed by UOP and ENI. The front end engineering has been developed by Saipem using conventional hydro-processing technology. This service is focused on producing a high quality product that is compatible with existing fuel infrastructures.
Waste to energy
Waste to energy is the thermal treatment of waste or biomass in order to produce energy in the form of electric power and/or steam.
Saipem has access to and proven experience with the following technologies portfolio: incineration, gasification and plasma gasification process: that means producing syngas for fuel cells or generating electricity to drive plasma arch, producing vitrified silicate and metals, salt and sulphur.
Solar
Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity and it’s one of the earth’s most available energy source, easily capable of providing the total current energy demand.
Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly with concentrating solar power (CSP), which normally focuses the sun’s energy to boil water which is then used to provide power.
Wind energy
Saipem deals with design and building of large wind farms to convert wind energy into a useful form, such as electricity.
Geothermal energy
Saipem provides a full geothermal energy service including geological and geochemical site assistance as well as technical modelling and economic evaluation.
Hydro-electric
Saipem is involved in design and building of hydroelectric power plants utilizing a water driven turbine to drive an electric generator for producing electricity.
