Webinar presentation of the book "Sector coupling. A vision for Spain"
2020-10-06 16:00 - 17:00
The integration of gas and electricity systems (sector coupling) is fundamental in reaching emission reduction targets in 2050 and, in Spain, can generate savings of more than 2 billion euros a year compared to a system based only on electricity and its storage.
This integration allows for a reduction in emissions in sectors where electrification is not feasible, and makes more complete use of the potential of renewable energies, contributing significantly to the efficient achievement of objectives established in the European Green Deal.
Naturgy Foundation is publishing thestudy “Sector coupling. A vision for Spain”, prepared by the consulting firm Frontier Economics and the German University of Aachen, which analyses the situation in Europe and Spanish power.
