Renewables account for 33% current energy production in Spain and 3 from 4 years could account for half of total, said the director of graduate Solar Installations, Thermal and Photovoltaic from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Xavier Cipriano.
These statements were part of a discussion at the UPC School on future challenges to environment and sustainability are faced with the premise that the current energy model is unsustainable due to increasing demand and excessive dependence on fossil fuels.
The director of graduate Hybrid Vehicles and Other Propulsion Technologies, David Gallego, He noted that 2015 Electric cars have gained ground, as it ensured that it takes time for drivers to internalize the benefits of this new technology and adapt to this new way of driving without noise and gearbox.
Also, He added that “so far were their own automotive companies who created their own plans to adapt its range of vehicles to hybrid technology and electric, them set the pace, Now is the turn of administrations must work aspects as the organization of public and private points of recharge”.
Also, the director of the graduate on Energy Efficiency and Energy Markets, Carme Petrel, He said the new Action Plan for Energy Saving and Efficiency 2011-2012 in Spain in force provides for a reduction of primary energy sources 20% and saving 1.000 million barrels of oil per year.
Another key factor for the future of solar PV will be the self-production in 2 from 3 years will be free in Spain and can cause a new boom in energy, especially in small production.
