Callisto

Mediterranean CO₂ Network

What is the project?

Callisto is a project aiming to collect, transport and permanently store anthropogenic CO₂ in depleted fields in the Mediterranean Sea.

CO₂ Pipelines

Pipelines network in Fos-Marseille and Rhône Valley clusters
Pipelines network from Bergamo - Brescia, Marghera - Padova, Ferrara and Ravenna clusters

Terminals

In Fos-Marseille area: liquefaction units, buffer storages, ship loading facilities
In Ravenna area: vaporization units, buffer storages, ship unloading facilities
In Priolo-Augusta area (Sicilia) : liquefaction units, buffer storages, ship loading facilities
In Taranto area : liquefaction units, buffer storages, ship loading facilities

Storage project

Ravenna CCS Phase 1 was announced in September 2024 with the injection of up to 25,000 tonnes per year of CO₂, captured by Eni's Casalborsetti gas treatment plant.
