CALGARY, AB, Aug. 28, 2024 /CNW/ - Entropy Inc. ("Entropy" or the "Corporation"), a subsidiary of Advantage Energy Ltd. ("Advantage"), is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Sanjay Bishnoi as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Bishnoi will start in his new role on September 23, 2024. After founding and leading Entropy since 2020, Mr. Michael Belenkie will step down from Entropy's President and CEO responsibilities but will remain as Chairman of the Board of Directors ("Board") providing continued leadership and a seamless transition.

"We are thrilled to welcome Sanjay to Entropy as we enter a new phase of growth in commercial carbon capture and storage ("CCS"). Sanjay brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of generating innovation and growth," said Mr. Belenkie. "Like all of us at Entropy, he understands that CCS is a vital technology in the global path to reducing emissions and that success is driven by a combination of advanced technology, sophisticated commercial partnerships and an innovative, experienced team. Our Board believes he will be a transformative leader for our company, our people, and the rapidly evolving global CCS industry."

Mr. Bishnoi's background is uniquely suited to Entropy. An engineer by training, he received his Ph.D. in carbon capture from the University of Texas at Austin. His broad background includes successful forays in conventional resource and infrastructure development, management consulting, and project finance. Since 2014, he has served in chief financial officer roles, but always preserving a deep involvement in technical aspects of his companies while offering strong leadership and a focus on corporate values.

"I'm honoured to be joining Entropy and I'm excited to help extend the team's accomplishments in CCS technology, business model innovation and infrastructure development," said Mr. Bishnoi. "My background in carbon capture goes back over 25 years and, as a co-founder of a successful midstream company, I've also experienced what it takes to manage fast growth in large infrastructure. I look forward to working with the Entropy team and Board to manage the Corporation through an exciting phase of growth and beyond."
