Madrid was the setting for the presentation of the monograph 'The strategy for the energy transition', a new addition to the collection of studies Economic Mediterranean from CajamarThe event, held in the auditorium of the Research and Transfer Space of the Comillas Pontifical University, brought together 18 experts to unravel the challenges and opportunities of the process of decarbonization and energy transition on the European continent and, specifically, in Spain.
The work delves into crucial aspects such as European strategy for the energy transition, the Spanish panorama, the fundamental role of the storage technologies for the integration of renewable energies, and projections for the year 2030. In addition, cutting-edge topics such as the potential of hydrogen and biomethane, the agrivoltaic —an innovative solution that combines agriculture with solar energy generation—, future electricity market designs and their implications for consumers, the consumption, and the development of energy communitiesThe publication also addresses the contribution of consumers to a fair energy transition and the decarbonization of industry and heavy transport.
A central point of the analysis is the system security, the resilience and reduction of network costsIt is emphasized that "significant blackouts and/or price spikes can occur when there is a temporary shortage of network capacity." In response, a paradigm shift in planning is proposed: instead of traditional investment in physical infrastructure, the focus is on "smarter ways of managing network congestion," using "wireless" alternatives.
Eduardo BaamondeThe president of Cajamar highlighted the significance of this change: "We are not facing just another evolution of the energy system, but a structural transformation that will affect all sectors and citizensCajamar, as an entity committed to sustainable development, wants to contribute to this debate with rigorous and diverse knowledge, because we understand that energy will be a central factor in the competitiveness, cohesion, and sustainability of our economy."
For its part, Roberto García Torrente, Director of Sustainability and Agri-Food Development at Cajamar and director of the collection Economic Mediterranean, emphasized that this edition marks the beginning of a new phase for the collection, with a refreshed design and a more participatory approach. He stated that "over these 24 years, Economic Mediterranean "The Energy Transition has sought to anticipate the major challenges facing our society. Given its magnitude and implications, the energy transition was a necessary choice. With this publication, we not only update our format, we also reinforce our commitment to economic development that is compatible with the limits of the planet."
Finally, Pedro Linares placeholder imageThe project coordinator and director of the bp Chair for Sustainable Climate Neutrality at the Comillas Pontifical University pointed out that "unlike past transitions, which were added to the energy mix, now it is about completely replace fossil fuels in a very short period of timeThis presents unprecedented technological, economic, and social challenges, and requires a combination of ambitious policies, innovation, and a deep understanding of the implications for all sectors.” The book’s primary objective is to offer an “independent, clear, and accessible perspective, useful for both citizens and businesses, and thus contribute to a just and inclusive energy transition.”
