Spanish energy companies Moeve and ENSO, a group specialised in developing biomass-based renewable energy solutions, will partner to serve energy-intensive industrial producers which currently rely on generation systems fueled by coal, natural gas, and other fossil fuels.

A news release from Moeve states that in addition to transitioning sectors such as chemicals, paper and board, and food and beverage to models based on advanced biomass, the alliance opens up new opportunities in the development of renewable gases. These opportunities range from the conversion of biogas plants to biomethane to the potential development of e-fuels (RFNBOs) using biogenic CO₂ generated at bioenergy facilities.

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.

Enso CEO Elías Hernández said: “This agreement allows us to keep advancing green molecules as a real solution for decarbonizing energy-intensive sectors. Through our ‘Moeve decarbonize’ offering, and building on ENSO’s strong track record, we will provide our industrial customers with a broader range of energy solutions, combining heat, power, and renewable gases in processes where electrification is not always feasible.”
