The Electric Iberdrola and the Navy Federation of Spain have connected to the aim of eliminating a considerable number of sports ports in Spainunderstood in the communities of Andalusia, Asturia, Balearic Isarias, Cataluña, Galicia, Murcia and Valencia
A Priori talks about 180 sports portsBut that figure could vary depending on the needs, which is why the first step within the Alliance will imply the realization of a sector analysis via Net Zero Emissions Manager of Balantia.
Sports gates in Spain
Iberrola and Marinas of Spain, the Spanish Federation of Sports and Tourist Ports Associations, have signed a cooperation agreement for Implement electrification solutions to promote carbon of the 180 sports ports That are part of the Andalusia, Asturia, Balearic Islands, Catalonia, Galicia, Murcia and Community Valencian Associations, to improve their competitiveness and to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels.
The first step within the Alliance will be to perform a sector analysis through Net Zero Emians manager of Balantia. The platform, recently launched as a result of the 100% Balantia acquisition by Iberdrola, Calculate the CO2 footprintDetermining most impact processes and automatically prepares a carbon plan for compliance with legal and climatic objectives for 2030 and 2050. In addition, it manages the data of inventory data of equipment, asset profiles and invoices.
An electrification plan will be studied based on the results Dcarbonize and increase the competitiveness of the portsBased on other solutions in charging points of vehicles and electric ships, photovoltaic self -consumption, heat electrification, energy supply speeds with guarantees of origin and other possible solutions that can add value.
On the other hand, for those emissions that cannot be reduced, Iberrola, via carbon 2Nature, makes high quality carbon loans on the basis of natural projects that absorb CO2, They encourage a circular economy And promote sustainable development.
Sustainable development
«This cooperation agreement with Iberdrola focuses not only on the development of actions to significantly reduce the CO2 footprint, but also It also positions us as references in sustainability Maritime The extensive plan, which includes charging points for boats and electric vehicles and self -consumption systems, will help us transform harbor In more efficient and environmentally friendly respectful facilities, improving our competitiveness and preparing the future of the sport nautical sector, “says the president of Marinas of Spain Tomás Azcárate.
“Marina van Spain is tailored to our carbon armoring strategy due to electrification. We are planning from Iberdrola Promote the energy efficiency of a starting sector By the hand of the greatest association of Spain from harbor Sports and tourist. Although there is currently no regulation that regulates carbon arbonization, there are more and more sustainability plans and from Iberdrola we want to help them reach them, ”says Carmen Lopez, head of smart cities of Iberdrola.
Sector growth
The electric boat market in Spain is mainly divided into three segments: small recreational vessels, which are the most numerous and are accessible to individuals; Passenger transport ships for short trips, especially in tourist areas and ports; and work ships such as small fishing and port service ships.
The sector is in a rapid evolution. A crucial factor for evolution is charging infrastructure. The most important Spanish ports implement electric charging pointsAlthough there is still a considerable gap in the availability of these facilities.
The most important challenges of the sector include the high initial costs of electrical vessels compared to the traditional, the limited autonomy of current batteries and the need to develop a more extensive charging network. However, government support and European funds for ecological transition facilitate the investments in this sector.
Discarking of the Sport Marine
For the must electrify the economy because this is the most effective option And of fewer costs for low -carbon, Iberdrola Spain has a wide range of products and services that prefer efficiency, energy saving and environmental care, while the customer is placed in the center, it offers greater connectivity and capacity for decisions.
These solutions are subdivided into smart mobility, as an extensive solution for vehicles and electric ships; Smart Solar, for photovoltaic self -consumption; Smart services, with services of rest and energy advice, destined to Improve efficiency and energy saving; Smart climate, for heating and cooling and energy rehabilitation solutions.
