Spain and the European Union They’re looking for new fuels, but no one yet knows why they chose certain areas. After the case of the researchers who made an unprecedented discovery and entered the history books, the target now lies with a European project shrouded in illusion and mystery on the part of its members.
The UE It places particular emphasis on significantly reducing CO2 emissions in its constituent countries.
We have seen it clearly in Spainwith the introduction of ZBE zones and other measures intended to alleviate the pollution problem.
Great expectations are being placed at this time ADT4Blue, a program that searches for treasures in the sea and is related to the blue economy. Not even the European Union knows what materials it finds on the seabed. What is clear to him is that he wants to explore it to its limits and exploit its potential.
Spain and the EU are looking for new fuels: more countries are involved in the project
There are thirteen entities belonging to four European regions that have expressed their seafaring vocation: Aquitaine, Basque Country, Ireland j Portugal. They have already started work Advanced digital technologies for the blue economy (Advanced digital technologies for the blue economy), proposal that will direct the Guarda Polytechnic Institute (Portugal).
On the side of Basque Countryjoin Association of Knowledge and Technology Industries of Euskadi (Gaia cluster), the Development Agency Urola Kosta (located in Zarautz) and the University of Deusto.
The alliance of these associations is crucial to achieve the project’s objective, which is nothing more than ‘to position these regions as leaders in the blue economy and generate employment in the respective areas’.
The blue economy focuses its efforts, as explained in the project, on “intelligent and sustainable management of marine resources”, with the key points being the respect and protection of marine biodiversity and the application of “practices and technologies that reduce the negative impact on the sea to a minimum”. Area.”
In this context, and with the firm idea of bringing advanced digital technologies closer to the blue economy and boosting its potential in various areas, these thirteen entities that have a close relationship with the sea come together in ADT4Blue. The areas in which they want to involve the blue economy are logistics, tourism, shipbuilding and repair, fishing, aquaculture and renewable energy.
The project, scheduled for completion in August 2026, has a budget of 3.1 million euros financed by the European program Interreg Atlantic area. This is a plan that supports transnational cooperation projects between 24 Atlantic regions Spain, France, Portugal e Ireland.
Among the objectives of ADT4Blue positions these areas as “references” for the sector and creates new jobs.
The project of Spain and the EU is making noise: the blue economy is present in the region
To achieve what they propose, the entities will work to implement business ideas that respond to the challenges of this type of economy. If? Through the use of advanced digital technologies such as the famous artificial intelligence, the blockchain (Blockchain) or the Internet of Things (IoT).
It will promote inter-regional business and between age groups. Moreover, it will indirectly impact the attractiveness and innovation developed in each area. The association is considering three main profiles in the participating countries: interested in the blue economy, parties interested in advanced digital technology and involved in business.
Spain and the UE have joined together to search new fuels and while they are not 100% sure of what they will find, they have hard work and the best predictions ahead. Like this news, what we revealed a few days ago about green hydrogen is shocking.
