The third vice-president of the Government and minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Sara Aagesen, underlined that the Spanish energy system has "a perfectly integrated logistical base."
During his intervention at the presentation of the II Observatory of Trends in the context of Exolum's Energy Transition, Aagesen remarked that this structure allows Spain "to be calm and respond to complicated moments", in reference to the situation generated by tensions in the Middle East.
The head of Ecological Transition highlighted Exolum's work "as a strategic actor for the country's supply chain" and stressed that the energy transition "is fundamental for the well-being of society".
At the meeting, the main conclusions of this observatory were presented, whose report points to the energy transition in Spain entering a new, more demanding and complex stage. According to the document, the central challenge no longer lies in the lack of technological solutions, but in the ability to deploy them quickly, on a large scale and competitively to meet real demand, Exolum reported in a statement.
The study also confirms that decarbonization is progressing at different speeds depending on the sector. While the electricity system continues to lead in emission reduction, sectors such as transport, building, or industry face greater obstacles and will need to accelerate the incorporation of low-carbon footprint solutions tailored to their specific needs.
Combination of technologies and technological neutrality
Given this scenario, the observatory advocates for a strategy supported by the combination of different technologies and technological neutrality, as a formula to effectively progress towards the goals set in the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC), considering the diversity of situations and the different degree of maturity of each sector.
Along these lines, the CEO of Exolum, Javier Goñi, held that the energy transition "must be, above all, a logistical transition."
"The success of the new energy vectors depends on our ability to connect them efficiently with the points of consumption. Our infrastructure is already capable of adapting to these new needs, guaranteeing security of supply and offering competitive solutions for hard-to-electrify sectors," added.
