The road to more renewable energy

The road to more renewable energy
Fundación Repsol and the Higher Polytechnic School of the University of Mondragón - Mondragón Unibertsitatea are organising this webinar in which the evolution of renewable energies in Spain will be analysed and these issues will be debated, analysing the main challenges they face in their effective deployment.
Renewable energies are those that are obtained from natural sources, and are therefore considered inexhaustible and have low greenhouse gas emissions. Technological advances have made it possible to reduce installation, production and maintenance costs, making them more accessible and competitive.
In the complex transition to a low-emission energy model, different types of renewable energies play a key role. However, the integration of renewable energies raises issues such as security of supply, grid integration, dependence on critical minerals and social acceptance.
