TAZCH Appoints New CEO

Philip Hannon has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Alliance for Zero Carbon Heating (TAZCH) which brings together businesses from across Ireland who are committed to finding new solutions that reduce emissions and create a more sustainable heating system for the country. He will lead the alliances ongoing efforts to pave the way for the introduction of new and advanced renewable liquid fuels which can help deliver zero carbon heating and make carbon neutrality a reality.

He has over 25 years of experience in public affairs, communications and advocacy. He was a Ministerial Special Advisor in five separate Government Departments, across two administrations. For almost a decade, he was Communications and Public Affairs Manager at the Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association, and most recently was Policy Director at Liquid Gas Ireland.

Commenting on his appointment, Mr Hannon said: “I am delighted to be taking up this role at such a crucial time for the home heating sector in Ireland and abroad. The sector can play a significant role in reducing carbon emissions as efforts continue to tackle climate change. It is becoming increasingly clear that a broader approach to tackling reducing emissions should be followed. I look forward to working with my colleagues in TAZCH to ensure the role of new and advanced renewable liquid fuels is central to a broader approach from Government”.
