Fagor Ederlan uses natural gas extensively to produce automotive parts. The target is compatible with the target determined by the European Union, reduce your emissions Reducing the amount of CO2 by 50% by 2032. Patxi Rodríguez, the firm’s director of materials and new technologies, explains that it will achieve this through “electrification of these processes where possible” as well as “through green hydrogen projects.” The same thing happened at Porcelanosa, and they face “a significant challenge in high-temperature processes”, explains Jorge Fábregat, the company’s head of quality and environment. They are “expectant” because the technology to decarbonize their operations is not yet mature enough, but they insist: They believe the future lies in “hybrid processes”Combine electrification with biogas or green hydrogen.
In addition to sharing the same industry, these two companies The new Q-Zero Alliance powered by iberdrola decarbonizing the sector. A. a total of 40 international companiesAlso included in Spanish names, it will create synergies between them to comply with the absolute reduction of carbon emissions by 2050. Large companies such as Ferrovial, Bayer or Heineken share the space with Tubos Reunidos, BP, Castillo de Canena and smaller companies. Companies like Abbatta textile company. In their case, they only use electricity to paint the pieces as the entire process is manual, but they believe “raising awareness is very important”. They installed solar panels to cleanse their operations of carbon emissions.
At the alliance’s presentation, Iberdrola’s chief administrative officer, Ignacio Galán, insisted on the companies’ efforts to use only clean energy. “This will provide us with stable prices for our customers,” he assured during his speech, while also stating that “a greater availability of external resources“and we will be less dependent on other countries for energy. He added that this trade cooperation will reduce the price volatility that all sectors, and especially industry, are exposed to due to the war in Ukraine and now the crisis in Sea Red. And, at the same time, renewable energies will be exclusively Moving towards the use of fossil fuels will allow us to get rid of fossil fuels. Q-Cero’s aim is to unite the public-private sector under the same umbrella. “We need alliances to involve the entire value chain and management,” he explained. Only in this way will we be able to achieve a process , it is a “moral obligation” to leave a better planet for young people.
The key to this alliance is precisely the public-private collaboration that all speakers insisted on during Q-Cero’s presentation. “With alliances, we can strengthen our industrial structure,” said Carmen Díaz, CEO of Holcim Spain. The launch of this business collaboration coincided with the start of the application submission period. The first line of Industrial Decarbonization Perte, which will carry 1,000 million Euros. Minister of State for Industry Rebeca Torró reminded that Spain should focus on clean energy production, but added that Spain has a “competitive advantage” over other European countries in renewable energy production. “The industry, like the planet, will either be green or not,” she assured. Mario Ruiz, CEO of Iberdrola, emphasized that the decarbonization of this sector is demanded “by investors, society and young people”, so it is “transcendent” to “believe in alliances”. “Decarbonizing the sector will only be achieved through collaboration,” said Carlos Mataiz, director of the Center for Innovation in Technology for Human Development at the Polytechnic University of Madrid.
