Mr Carpintero succeeds Ms Aurélie Beauvais, Managing Director of Euroheat & Power. Upon taking up the post he said: “The EU needs to be open to a broad range of carbon-abatement technologies to achieve its climate goals – embracing all sustainable solutions. That’s what ENZA is all about, and why I’m so excited to be its next chairman, carrying on the great work that Aurelie Beauvais and others have done since our Alliance formed in 2021. Renewable ethanol is already making a positive impact in the transition to a carbon-neutral Europe, with continually increasing GHG savings and new innovations in the capture and re-use of biogenic CO2. But it has the potential to do even more in the coming decades with legislation that ensures technology-openness and policies that are consistently applied across sectors. I look forward to working with the other sectors in ENZA to help accelerate Europe’s drive to net-zero.”

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.
