In partnership with the Regional Government of Cantabria, the Naturgy Foundation organised a seminar this morning in Santander on offshore energy and the environment. A dozen experts from business and several institutions shared their standpoints on offshore wind power, energy management at ports and renewable marine energies.<\/p>\n

The event was opened by the Councillor for Innovation, Industry and Trade of the Regional Government of Cantabria, Francisco Mart\u00edn<\/b>, and the General Manager of the Naturgy Foundation, Mart\u00ed Sol\u00e0<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Francisco Mart\u00edn<\/b> underlined the need for Cantabria \u201cto make up lost time\u201d and \u201cget back on the renewable energies train\u201d, especially in terms of harnessing the sea and wave power. \u201cWe have no choice but to switch to renewable energy as soon as possible\u201d and, to do so, \u201cwe need to accept as a society that, if we want renewable energy, we will need to see wind turbines and, if we want photovoltaic power, we will need to have solar panels on our roofs,\u201d he said. He went on to stress that \u201cthis is simply a perceived cost that brings more advantages and benefits for the environment.\u201d He concluded by saying that \u201cwave power is still in its early days but there is a vast number of kilowatts to be harnessed that travel around the world in the form of waves… we could be making use of this.\u201d<\/p>\n

In turn, Mart\u00ed Sol\u00e0<\/b> recalled that \u201cthe rational use of energy resources, sustainable development and environmental protection are just some of the action lines being followed by the Naturgy Foundation,\u201d highlighting the Cantabria\u2019s experience in the environmental management of maritime activities.<\/p>\n

The event was closed by the Director-General for Industry, Trade and Consumer Affairs of the Regional Government of Cantabria, Ra\u00fal Pelayo<\/b>.<\/p>\n
