Kuwait Petroleum Italia

Kuwait Refining and Chemicals S.p.A. (KRC) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Q8. Following the conversion of the Naples refinery into a coastal storage facility in 1993, KRC has been responsible for the decommissioning and remediation of company-owned land where decommissioned structures were previously located.

KRC is strongly committed to using remediation techniques that minimize environmental impact, leveraging cutting-edge technologies. Whenever possible, the company prioritizes:

• "In situ" techniques, which do not require soil excavation or movement (e.g., AS/SVE wells).
• "On site" techniques, which involve treating contaminated soil directly within the site with potential reuse (e.g., landfarming, thermal desorption).

The company is ISO 14001:2015 certified for environmental management.

 The world is changing. Driven by the Paris Agreement for climate actions, the European Parliament approved “the European Green Deal”.
It is a set of policy initiatives with the overarching aim of making Europe climate neutral in 2050. With almost Zero-Particulate and low CO2 emissions, LNG represents the optimal solution already available today for maritime transport and heavy road transport.

Project “Naples LNG Coastal Depot” aims at developing a small-scale storage equipped with bunkering facilities and truck loading bays and this will make LNG an easily available and price-competitive fuel throughout Central and Southern Italy in line with the European green strategy and international regulations on sustainable mobility for maritime and heavy road transportation.
Even in the current complex scenario we are experiencing, Q8 maintains a long-term strategic vision, a strategy that aims at innovation and environmental protection, willing to play a leading role in the energy transition.
This important investment in the South Italy attests our shareholders’ trust in the Italian market and strengthens the connection with the city of Naples where for years Q8 has been a strategic reference player for energy supply, a role that with this new project it may consolidate further.
