#decarbonisation

Achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 means taking action in each and every sector. Efficient decarbonisation of the economy means achieving it at the lowest possible cost, using the most competitive alternatives in each end-use.

Thomas Edison's first electric power plant built in 1882 only supplied current to a few light bulbs. Since then, the grid that carries electricity to our homes has expanded and is facing the biggest challenge so far: to become completely fossil-fuel free and move towards renewable energy sources. Discover the history of electricity until nowadays.

Atmospheric pollution is not the only type of contamination that is harming living beings on the planet. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is one of the most dangerous environmental threats to health. In Europe alone, according to the European Environment Agency (EEA), it causes 66,000 premature deaths each year and tens of thousands of cases of cardiovascular disease and type two diabetes.

The carbon footprint is the invisible trail our actions leave on the planet. It represents the total amount of greenhouse gases we generate, both directly and indirectly. Among them is carbon dioxide (CO₂), the main driver of global warming since 1990. In this context, what actions should we take to reduce it?

Efficient energy storage is a fundamental pillar of the energy transition: allowing flexible renewable energy production and guaranteeing its integration into the grid. Find out which storage systems are the most efficient and which ones promise to drive the much-needed transition towards a decarbonised electricity system.

Iberdrola and Mitsubishi Power have signed a collaboration agreement to jointly develop competitive, clean and safe energy solutions based on renewable energy that promote the decarbonization of industrial production in different regions around...
