Between 2020 and 2021, energy storage capacity in the US has tripled. As the grid transitions to renewable energy sources, it needs to be able to balance supply and demand. In this new scenario, what role does battery storage play?

Changes in the way we produce and consume energy are driving significant innovations in transmission and distribution networks as well as in electricity storage, which provide a solid and reliable basis for electricity grids increasingly powered by renewable energy.

Efficient energy storage is a key pillar of the energy transition. In a context of accelerating decarbonisation, manufacturers are increasingly turning to sodium batteries, a cheaper alternative to the popular lithium batteries. This technology opens the door to the massification of affordable electric cars and the efficient storage of renewable energy. But how do they work and what are their advantages?

Solar and wind energy have grown significantly on the electric grid over the last decade, but when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow, green hydrogen can bridge the gap.

Carbon markets are internationally widespread economic instruments to encourage the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, such as CO₂, by the different sectors of productive activity.

The 54th World Earth Day 2024, celebrated on Monday 22 April, is under the slogan "Planet vs. Plastics". This event recalls the call of hundreds of thousands of people to consolidate a global alliance to act, innovate and implement measures to protect the environment among all: companies, governments and citizens. All represented and all responsible.

The United Nations (UN) organised its 28th Conference of the Parties –better known as COP– on climate change on 2023, held between 30 November and 12 December in the United Arab Emirates.

The Sustainability assessment is a tool for evaluating the group's sustainability performance by analysing its economic, environmental and social dimensions, and is used to determine which aspects require improvement throughout the group as a whole. The assessment serves to measure the quality of the sustainable strategy pursued.
