Assorisorse

What Assorisorse does

Assorisorse is an Italian non-profit industry association (associazione di categoria) representing companies operating in Italy's energy and natural resources sectors, including upstream oil & gas, mining, geothermal energy, hydrogen, critical minerals, and the circular economy. The association traces its institutional roots to Assomineraria, founded in 1917 as the Italian Petroleum and Mining Industry Association, and rebranded to Assorisorse around 2020-2021 to reflect an expanded mandate covering the broader natural-resources value chain. Its membership includes major Italian and international energy operators such as Eni, Shell Italia E&P, Saipem, RINA Consulting, Rosetti Marino, EniProgetti, Bonatti, and Fores Engineering.

The association delivers value through a portfolio of programs rather than a single software product: the OMC Med Energy Conference & Exhibition in Ravenna (co-organized with Camera di Commercio di Ravenna and ROCA Energy), the OIMCE (Italian Observatory on Critical Raw Materials and Energy) research program, the ASSOIL School professional training initiative, the Gustavo Sclocchi Thesis Award (now in its 33rd edition), the National Mining Day, and dedicated technical working groups on methane emissions, hydrogen, circular economy, critical minerals, and geothermal energy. It also publishes curated press selections and the Digital Talk FOR Energy content series in partnership with FOR and Studio Legale Napoletano & Partners.

Assorisorse generates revenue primarily through membership fees paid by its enterprise members; pricing tiers are reserved for associates and are not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct, via membership relationships, the association's website, social channels (LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Instagram), and the recurring event calendar. The association is affiliated with Confindustria Energia, giving it formal channels into Italian and EU energy policy, and it is governed by a President (Francesca Zarri, appointed December 2025), two Vice Presidents (Davide Usberti, Leonardo Brunori), and a professional staff of approximately 11 people headquartered in Rome.

Its fundamental output is collective representation, advocacy, and knowledge-sharing platforms for the Italian energy industry.

Product overview

Assorisorse is an industry association (Associazione Italiana per le Risorse Minerarie e l'Industria Petrolifera e Gas) that serves as a platform for Italian companies in the oil, gas, and mining sectors. Rather than offering a unified software product, Assorisorse provides a portfolio of member services including the OMC Med Energy Conference & Exhibition (major annual industry event), ASSOIL School (professional training), the Italian Critical Raw Materials and Energy Observatory (OiMCE) for research, and multiple working groups on methane emissions, hydrogen, circular economy, critical minerals, and geothermal energy. The association also publishes the Digital Talk FOR Energy content series and manages the Gustavo Sclocchi Thesis Award. The organization connects member companies across various service categories including engineering, environmental services, laboratory facilities, and project management through its associate directory.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• EUROGAS: European gas industry association representing gas wholesale, retail, and infrastructure companies. Comparable to Assorisorse's gas-related advocacy and working groups but operates at EU level rather than Italian national level.

Broad incumbents

• IOGP (International Association of Oil & Gas Producers): Global industry association for oil and gas producers, including many of the same upstream operators Assorisorse represents. Comparable as a peer-association model serving overlapping corporate members on safety, environment, and policy — but operating internationally rather than Italy-only.
• IPIECA: Global oil and gas industry association focused on environmental and social issues. Comparable to Assorisorse's OIMCE-style working group model (e.g., methane emissions task force) and serves overlapping majors like Eni and Shell — but with global rather than Italian scope.
• World Energy Council (WEC): Global energy council with national committees in over 90 countries, including Italy. Comparable as a multi-stakeholder energy forum hosting events and publishing research — but covers the entire energy mix and is much broader in scope than Assorisorse.
• American Petroleum Institute (API): US oil and gas trade association with similar advocacy, standards, and statistics functions. Comparable as an industry-association model with events, working groups, and policy engagement — though much larger scale and US-focused.

Others

• Confindustria: Main Italian employers' federation and umbrella organization. Indirectly comparable as the apex body within which Assorisorse (via Confindustria Energia) sits — a member joining either gains broader advocacy reach, creating both partnership and competitive overlap.
• ENEA (Agenzia nazionale per le nuove tecnologie, l'energia e lo sviluppo economico sostenibile): Italian national agency for new technologies, energy, and sustainable economic development. Not a peer association but a research partner — comparable as an ecosystem participant that co-organizes OIMCE symposia with Assorisorse on critical minerals and circular economy.

Direct peers

• Confindustria Energia: Italian energy industry confederation of which Assorisorse is an affiliated member. Directly comparable as a trade body representing Italian energy operators with policy advocacy, events, and working groups — Assorisorse operates as a sub-association within its structure.
• ANIG (Associazione Nazionale Industriali Gas): Italian natural gas industry association focused on distribution, transport, and downstream gas activities. Comparable to Assorisorse as a sector-specific Italian trade body engaging national institutions and representing corporate gas-sector members.
• ANIM (Associazione Nazionale Ingegneri Minerari): Italian mining engineers' association. Comparable to Assorisorse's mining heritage (via Assomineraria) and overlapping activities around raw materials, mining heritage, and geological events such as the Giornata Nazionale delle Miniere.
