Saipem has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with California Ethanol & Power to develop a low carbon emission plant for the production of ethanol, renewable electricity, bio-methane, and other secondary products derived from sugarcane cultivated on site.

The plant will be located in California’s Imperial County and Saipem will design and construct the non-electrical part of the project and related services, while the electrical part will be assigned to General Electric.

Saipem is a world leader in drilling services, as well as in the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of pipelines and complex projects, onshore and offshore, in the oil & gas market.
