Specialists in a range of subjects in the university, business and institutional sectors analysed the technology, potential, regulations and degree of implementation of this fuel, and presented practical cases in France and different areas around Spain. The Minister of Economic Development and Innovation in the La Rioja Regional Government, <b>Leonor Gonz\u00e1lez Menorca<\/b>, and the Managing Director of the Naturgy Foundation, <b>Mart\u00ed Sol\u00e0<\/b>, welcomed the attendees at the opening session.<\/p>\n<p>Gonz\u00e1lez Menorca highlighted the La Rioja Regional Government\u2019s commitment to the efficient development of renewable energy, and noted the opportunities that renewable gas can offer. The Minister referred to two fundamental plans that her Government has initiated: the La Rioja Waste Management Plan 2016-2026, and the La Rioja Energy Plan 2015-2020. Their objectives include sustainable commitment, increasing renewable energy and improving the environment and sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>Sol\u00e0 also mentioned the measures taken by the Naturgy Foundation to ensure energy saving and sustainability. \u201cIn the context of the current energy transition, adapting infrastructure to renewable energy is urgently required if we want to meet the European Union decarbonisation goals as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A series of presentations followed this. The first, entitled \u201cWhat is renewable gas? Potential and technology\u201d, was delivered by Professor Emeritus from the Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Catalu\u00f1a, <b>Xavier Flotats.\u00a0<\/b>In addition to referencing three types of renewable gas (biogas, synthesis gas and electricity), Flotats shared data about the biogas production systems, which are the most implemented systems. In Europe there are 18,000 installations that produced 16.1 Mtep of primary energy and 62.5 TWh of electricity in 2016, announced Flotats. In his opinion, \u201cthere is still a long way to go in Spain. Our country has an accessible potential of 2.3 Mtep of primary energy, only 10% of which is estimated to have been produced in 2016.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prensa.naturgy.com\/la-adaptacion-y-promocion-del-gas-renovable-una-prioridad-para-el-sector-energetico\/\">See the press room<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Logro\u00f1o hosted the Naturgy Foundation training seminar where several experts presented the current situation of this fuel in Spain and Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers from the Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica de Catalu\u00f1a, the Spanish Biogas Association, Gaz Naturel GRDF, the Valdeming\u00f3mez Technology Park and the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research took part in the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1454,"featured_media":59116,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[700],"tags":[711],"content-type":[],"acf":[],"post_class":["post-59115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-and-the-environment","tag-seminars-en","wordpress-sticky"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionnaturgy.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59115"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionnaturgy.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionnaturgy.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionnaturgy.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1454"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionnaturgy.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionnaturgy.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59115\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionnaturgy.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionnaturgy.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionnaturgy.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionnaturgy.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59115"},{"taxonomy":"content-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fundacionnaturgy.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-type?post=59115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
