The Global energy transition, aimed at achieving the objectives of reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) It is one of the objectives of the ENGIE-NEBRIJA Department And it requires a radical assessment of current energy systems, in particular by gradual specification of fossil fuels and the approval of renewable and non -treated energy sources.
This Transformation implies important social -economic challenges, especially for communitiesThe employees and the most dependent economic sectors of polluting industries, such as coal and oil they have to recover. And also for those of renewable energy sources, who need specialized professionals and technicians to promote their development.

Angry Spain, world leader in energy and low carbon services and Nebrija University have signed a cooperation agreement for the establishment of the chairman ENGIE-NOTBRIA Energy and honest transition. This initiative is intended to promote research and innovation in the field of energy transition and its Contribution to the fight against climate change. Moreover, it aims to promote cooperation between industry and the academic world, creating synergies that make it possible to maximize the social and environmental contribution of carbon solutions in the areas where they are implanted.
Of the chairman, the exchange of knowledge at national and regional level will be encouraged by the publication of informative reports, scientific articles and thematic books that transfer the transfer of Knowledge in the field of transition from fair energy. Likewise, the actions of knowledge distribution will be carried out, such as conferences and round tables, university activities and awareness and educational actions about the importance of a fair transfer of energy.
The chairman will promote employability within the framework of a fair energy transition, promoting academic and professional training aimed at the energy transition that students and professionals offer tools and knowledge that are needed to take on the challenges of the sectorAs well as generating contracts and research fairs within the framework of chair activities.
Engie, As a world leader in energy and low -carbon serviceswill contribute to the low -carbon -poor contribution, the transition to renewable energies and technological innovation. For its part, the University of Nebrija, with its prestigious academic team, will contribute to the development of applied research in these important areas.
During the Presentation Act, Loreto Ordóñez, CEO of Angry Spain, stressed: “This chair is the reflection of the dedication of Angry With a fair transfer of energy and underlines the vision that is shared with Nebrija University to promote knowledge, Think of innovative solutions and train professionals That will lead the future.
For his part, José Muñiz, rector of Nebrija University, referred to the energy transformation as a “polyedral issue that requires a performance from many areas”. For this reason, the newly released chairman “will work at a technological and also civil consciousness level“.
The chair ENGIE-NOTBRIA of energy and fair transition is framed into the sustainability strategy of Angry And it reflects its dedication to encourage energy transition to a neutral carbon economy, to promote cooperation and share knowledge to meet the most relevant challenges of the 21st century, as climate change and sustainability.
In the presentation of the chair AngryRubén Esteller, Deputy Director of El Economista, moderated a round table under the title ‘Fair transition: the path to a sustainable and inclusive future‘, Begoña María-Tomé Gil brought together, coordinator of the territorial guidance unit of the Institute for Fair Transition; Cristina Rivero, director of the Industry, Energy, Environment and Climate department of the CEOE; and Alexandra Delgado, lead researcher at ATth-Out set (Nebrija Research Group in Architecture and Urbanism in the Face of Social, Economic and Territorial Transformations).
In the “urgent” response to the climate challenge, Begoña María-Tomé Gil chose an adjustment process with A glimpse of the areas and vulnerable groups. The “Laboratory of Ideas” that presupposes the creation of the chair ENGIE-NOTBRIA From energy and honest transition, “another step” assumes to strengthen the “international interest” of the sector in Spain, characterized by “a clear institutional anchor, a very high degree of innovation and a multidisciplinary approach.”
In that sense, Cristina Rivero praised the Alliance between the university and the company to offer solutions about fair transition issues, where “Spain is a pioneer”, and chose to involve citizens through social dialogue. The Nebrija University has investigated for more than ten years in this matter. Alexandra Delgado emphasized, among other things, the implementation of the implementation of The CO2 footprint calculator Developed by researchers Roberto Álvarez, Fernando Beltrán and himself in the field of general directorate of distinction and energy transition of the Madrid community.
“Climate change is an urban and territorial challenge. The birth of the chair makes the invisible visible to leave no one in this great gear of renewable energy in Spain, “he said. In the colloquium, Begoña María-Tomé Gil considered ‘necessary’ that the areas participate in the benefits of the energy transition to reconcile the interest and to achieve ‘greater acceptance and social peace’. Cristina Rivero asked for more training, “another twist” to visualize those benefits in companies and citizens into “this transformation of great caliber”.
Alexandra Delgado called To be clear about spatial distribution, where plants place, “Without forgetting a balance that we all get between them.” For the researcher of the Polytechnic Nebrija, “In the light of uncertainty we need a game board in which everyone knows the benefits.”
