Moeve S.A. (Madrid) and ENSO Energy Environment & Sustainability S.L. (Madrid), a group specializing in the development of biomass-based renewable energy solutions, have reached an agreement to advance industrial decarbonization by developing energy alternatives that will enable the gradual replacement of fossil fuels.
Together, they will offer alternatives for energy-intensive industrial processes in sectors such as chemicals, paper and board, and food and beverage, which are characterized by high demand for steam and thermal energy and currently rely on generation systems fueled by coal, natural gas, and other fossil fuels.
In addition to transitioning these facilities to models based on advanced biomass, the alliance also opens up new opportunities in the development of renewable gases: from the conversion of biogas plants to biomethane to the potential development of e-fuels (RFNBOs) using biogenic CO2 generated at bioenergy facilities. Capturing and utilizing this CO2 makes it possible to turn it into a new feedstock. In this area, Moeve may participate as a potential offtaker of the new green molecules produced, complementing ENSO’s capabilities in renewable generation and biogenic carbon capture.
ENSO already has experience with this type of technology integration at its biopower plant in Garray, Soria, which was the first biopower plant in Spain to integrate a system for capturing and upgrading 100% renewable food-grade CO2.
Both companies aim to support industrial businesses in transforming their energy systems through projects designed to generate savings, reduce emissions, and enhance energy security, while also facilitating the investments needed to make them a reality.
Elías Hernández, CEO of ENSO, said: “Industry needs solutions that allow it to advance its decarbonization while increasing its competitiveness. We believe both can and should be part of the same equation. Our ability to invest in, build, and operate large-scale bioenergy infrastructure, combined with Moeve’s capabilities and reach, will enable us to turn decarbonization
