Cleantech Camp, the programme that focuses on accelerating the energy transition in Europe, is celebrating this year its 6th edition. Throughout the month of March, startups that are developing projects related to clean energy will be able to submit their applications to enter into a selection process that will allow up to 15 emerging companies from different European countries to participate in the programme between the months of April and July. The programme is promoted by EIT InnoEnergy, Naturgy, Enagás Emprende, CRH and PRIO, in collaboration with Barcelona Activa (Local Partner) and Bridge the Gap, Osborne & Clarke and ZBM Patents & Trademarks.
Start4big, the first multisector open innovation initiative promoted by Aigües de Barcelona, CaixaBank, Naturgy, SEAT and Telefónica, has chosen the winning startups of its second Wave of Innovation. In total, six of the 192 proposals submitted reached this final phase, which could involve starting different pilot projects with one of the major companies promoting the initiative. The winners are Validated ID, Mobbeel, Innovae, Solum, Urban Air Purifier and Climate Trade.
Naturgy has signed an agreement with Gestamp in order to secure the consumption of renewable energy in Spain. The agreement will ensure that from 2022 onwards, all the Group´s productive facilities and R&D centers in Spain will operate with 100% renewable energy.
Naturgy has presented the Spanish government’s Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism and Ministry of Science and Innovation with a project to build 38 hydrogen fuel stations at a national level with the aim of providing a hydrogen-refuelling service in the urban-to-interurban environment and thereby boosting sustainable mobility in the Iberian Peninsula. The total infrastructure to be developed during the second stage will come to 120 hydrogen fuel stations.
Naturgy has closed FY20 in a stronger position to take on the energy transition and having made significant progress towards its financial, operational, and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) commitments. All of the above has been achieved in a financial year marked by the economic and social impacts of the pandemic and an adverse energy scenario, with a generalised drop in energy demand.
Naturgy and Enagás are studying the production of green hydrogen from a 250-MW floating offshore wind farm and another 100-MW onshore wind farm in Asturias for industrial consumption in this Autonomous Region. The project is a candidate Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) and makes it possible to generate green hydrogen using local energy resources for added value.
