The former European Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy, Miguel Arias Cañete, and the former chair of REE, Luis Atienza, took part today in the fifth edition of Energy Prospects, a series of talks organised by the Naturgy Foundation and the IESE Business School, which was officially opened by the Chair of Naturgy, Francisco Reynés, and the CEO of IESE, Franz Heukamp.
The Energy Challenge gets back on the road to raise awareness of our planet’s environmental challenges
In recent weeks, the Naturgy Foundation has resumed the Energy Challenge, an innovative touring experience that aims to teach young people and the general public about the energy transition, the circular economy, air quality and new energy technologies.
Cogeneration plants need renewal plan to maintain their contribution to decarbonisation targets and industry competitiveness
A study claims that renewal plans are needed for existing cogeneration plants, which prevent around four million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
These plants are key to maintaining energy efficiency in processes and represent a major factor in company competitiveness.
Over 80% of the energy produced by these facilities is transformed through natural gas, the use of which leads to a significant emissions reduction.
The Naturgy Foundation and Asturias will collaborate to update VT in the field of energy and improve the employability of future professionals in the sector
The energy company’s foundation is to work with the Regional Ministry of Education of the Principality on the extension of training cycles content relating to vehicular natural gas, renewable gas, sustainable rehabilitation and construction and energy vulnerability.
Naturgy Foundation promotes pedagogical innovation in its educational programmes with a new gamification platform on energy
The Foundation is re-launching its educational catalogue in the classrooms, after the suspension caused by the health emergency in March.
This academic year (2020-21) 50,000 students from all over Spain will be able to take advantage of the face-to-face and virtual educational programme
Renewable hydrogen could be a competitive alternative from 2030 if the right policies to incentivise investment are promoted
The Naturgy Foundation is publishing a new study in which experts from the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC) call for precise regulation to scale up the technology, reduce costs and attract investment.
Spain is the country with the greatest output potential in Europe thanks to its geographic conditions and climate, representing a major opportunity for the green economy.
The use of hydrogen to convert electricity into gas would also connect the large gas and electricity infrastructures.
International scientists back a climate change adaptation strategy beyond decarbonisation goals
Ten international scientists invited by the Naturgy Foundation to take part in its latest publication affirm that “the objectives of the Paris Agreement are still technically feasible, as well as being economically desirable”, but they point to the need to tackle climate change with a holistic approach. They consider that “it is not enough to set emission reduction targets” and that “A degree of climate change seems to be inevitable and it is necessary to develop adaptation strategies to cope with the foreseeable and unavoidable impact”.
The cost of carbon emissions must be revised so that the EU can meet its 2050 decarbonisation goals
Carbon pricing is key to fostering further decarbonisation in the European Union, but far-reaching reforms to the Emissions Trading Scheme are needed for it to become an effective tool which the EU can use to reach its 2050 decarbonisation goals. This is one of the main conclusions of the report ‘Carbon pricing. Key achievements to date in Europe and optio
The Naturgy Foundation resumes its travelling Energy Challenge experience in Cantabria to raise awareness of the environmental challenges faced by the planet
The energy company’s foundation is once again offering this innovative initiative to the educational community and the general public, with a strict health protocol to guarantee the safety of visitors.
The Energy Challenge, which will be set up in Castro Urdiales and Torrelavega, invites people to reflect on energy consumption, air quality and the circular economy, in an interactive space journey on board an efficient vehicle guided by a state-of-the-art robot.
The integrated management of gas and electricity infrastructures in Spain would allow savings of more than €2 billion a year by 2050
A report by Frontier Economics and the German University of Aachen concludes that integrated infrastructure management (sector coupling) will be essential in achieving decarbonisation, because it minimises costs, makes it possible to decarbonise sectors that are difficult to electrify, increases supply safety, and makes it possible to promote an industry with export potential and job creation.
