NEWS: Mr Gert De Block, Secretary General of CEDEC, succeeds Ms Giulia Cancian, Secretary General of the European Biogas Association. Upon taking up the post he said: “The coming 6 months of 2024 will be marked by the start of the last EU legislative period before 2030. Whatever ambitious 2040 climate and energy targets will be decided, the first priority must now be to realise the necessary implementations by 2030. Building on all available sustainable technologies, infrastructures and resources. Involving all energy consumers – from energy-intensive industries to SMEs to vulnerable households. CEDEC’s local energy companies have this integrated approach in their DNA, with ambitious and sustainable strategies in all activities along the energy value chain, with electricity, molecules and heating. The European Net Zero Alliance demonstrates this open mind for diversified solutions, effectively contributing to net-zero in a wide array of industrial sectors. I’m excited to take responsibility as Chair, as successor of the excellent work of Giulia Cancian of EBA and in close cooperation with all highly motivated ENZA members.”

Working together, there is a better chance that the best policy and regulatory decisions will be made to secure a successful future for EU industries and citizens, as well as developing EU leadership on climate mitigating technologies and products.
