Since 2012, Eni has been selling off refining and marketing assets it owned in eastern Europe to increase profitability. By 2013 Eni had already reduced its refining capacity by 13 percent. In May 2014 Eni agreed to sell their 32.5% share in Česká rafinerská a.s. (CRC), a refining company in the Czech Republic, to MOL Group of Hungary.{{cite web|title=Eni sheds eastern European refining assets|url=http://www.ogj.com/articles/2014/05/eni-sheds-eastern-european-refining-assets.html|work=Oil and Gas Journal|access-date=20 May 2014|date=7 May 2014}}

In 2018 Eni became the first shareholder of the American company Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), a spin-out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston.{{Cite web|url=https://news.mit.edu/2018/new-era-fusion-research-mit-eni-0309|title=A new era in fusion research at MIT|website=News.mit|date=9 March 2018 }} CFS aims to build a fusion reactor based on tokamak technology, much more compact and cheaper compared to other existing projects such as the international ITER.{{Cite journal|title=MIT launches multimillion-dollar collaboration to develop fusion energy|journal=Nature|year=2018 |doi=10.1038/d41586-018-02966-3 |last1=Tollefson |first1=Jeff |volume=555 |issue=7696 |pages=294–295 |pmid=29542724 |bibcode=2018Natur.555..294T |doi-access=free }} On 5 September 2021, CFS successfully built and tested a 1: 1 scale prototype of a magnet based on HTS (High Temperature Superconductors) superconductors. The experiment demonstrated for the first time that it is possible to create a fusion chamber where the confinement of the plasma is ensured by this type of super magnets. This kind of fusion chamber will allow the reactor to reach very high temperatures, above 100 million degrees, necessary to make the controlled fusion of deuterium and tritium possible and thus to produce sustainable energy.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/08/fusion-gets-closer-with-successful-test-of-new-kind-of-magnet.html|title=Fusion gets closer with successful test of new kind of magnet at MIT start-up backed by Bill Gates|website=CNBC|date=8 September 2021 }} In December 2021, ENI become the first energy company in the world to highly invest in magnetic confinement nuclear fusion, through a $1.8 billion partnership in CFS, alla Ng with Google and Bill Gates.{{cite news|url= https://www-milanofinanza-it.translate.goog/news/eni-partnership-con-cfs-per-la-fusione-nucleare-obiettivo-e-immettere-in-rete-l-energia-prodotta-dal-202303091632213204?refresh_cens&_x_tr_sl=it&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=it&_x_tr_pto=wapp|title=Eni accelerates nuclear fusion and strengthens partnership with the American company CFS: the first plant will be operational within a few years |access-date=March 10, 2023|journal=Milano Finanza|language=it}}

In 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the major oil and gas companies, including Eni, reported sharp rises in interim revenues and profits.
