Thermal storage as a key element in the renewable electrification of industrial processes
Industrial processes, unlike the tertiary and residential sectors, require a higher proportion of heat than electricity. For this reason, the integration of renewable energies in these processes must consider thermal components that replace fossil generation systems. In this sense, different ways of obtaining renewable heat arise: Through biomass Through solar thermal energy Through renewable photovoltaic […]
Refinning sector: New oportunities for energy efficiency improvements
Written by Mili Bueno Rivas Energy efficiency is key in the oil refining sector, and has a direct impact on the reduction of CO2 emissions generated by its activity. I have always had a number in my head. From all the OPEX that a refinery has, almost 60% are energy costs… and that’s right. In the […]
Validation of structures/solar trackers. Our work methodology
The installation of structures/solar trackers for energy generation, by small companies to large energy producers, has been very common for more than 10 years. This has led to the need for validation of the structures that support photovoltaic panels. Eurocode, a worldwide reference structural validation code, does not implicitly contemplate the calculation of this type […]

Decarbonize using Co2. Are we crazy?
The new opportunities for the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the development of products and services are attracting the attention of governments, but especially of industry. In the special report of the IPPC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) issued in 2018[1], three routes are shown (Figure 1) on how global anthropogenic emissions must change […]
Industrial solar thermal energy is here to stay
In recent times, the pandemic and geopolitical tensions have caused both gas and electricity to increase in price to levels never seen before. At the end of April 2022, gas stood at 92 euros/MWh and electricity at 205 euros/MWh. And it is that this phenomenon is causing a strong impact on those industries that depend […]
