their search did not meet the reasonable-diligence standard established in Gerrity . 11 Thus, based on the information available to them at the time, Appellants were not entitled to pursue notice by publication under Ohio Rev. Code § 5301.56, and were therefore not entitled to abandonment. 12 Although Ohio courts continue to steer clear of providing a bright-line rule, this case sheds some additional light on the reasonable- diligence standard set forth in Gerrity by providing an example of when a search must be extended outside of the county in which an interest is located.

Eni will be supplied with the materials through a network of agri-hubs currently being developed by the company in several African countries. These raw materials are processed in Eni’s bio-refineries in Venice and Gela, where HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) diesel biofuel is produced thanks to Eni’s proprietary Ecofining technology. HVOlution is a biofuel made of 100% pure HVO. Breakthroughs in EV Battery Technology There is significant growth in the electric vehicle (EV) and plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV) markets in North America, Europe, and China. Battery technologies have significantly improved features such as charging speed, battery lifespan and safety. The energy density (the amount of energy a battery can store within a given weight) of commercial batteries increased from under 100

Alternatives & New Technologies Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)

RNG is also known as biomethane. It is chemically identical to conventional natural gas and can be used in existing transmission and distribution infrastructure, making it a competitive option to help decarbonize multiple hard to abate sectors, including commercial road transport, marine, heating, and heavy industry. The sustainability benefits are improved by the processing and use of methane that could otherwise be released to the atmosphere from the decomposition of organic by‑products and waste. Diesel from renewables to power fleet of transport vehicles in Italy Eni Sustainable Mobility and the Spinelli Group, a leader in the field of integrated logistics, have signed a two-year contract to power the Spinelli’s fleet with HVOlution, a diesel fuel produced from 100% renewable raw materials.
