He bottom of the sea has caused a big surprise Spain and 8 more countries. In fact, it has been in the waters where we have found major revelations in recent times, such as 30,000 TWh of energy. Sometimes it seems that talking about renewable energy is closely linked to solar or wind energy.
Although these two types of energy are the best known, they are not the only ones that we can exploit to gradually eliminate polluting fossil fuels. The oceans contain an incredible energy potential that can be converted into electricity through various technologies. For example, when we talk about tidal energy, an alternator is used that converts the kinetic energy and power of the tides into electrical energy.
Another ally in the search for an optimal energy transition is tidal energy, which uses the thermal energy of surface water to heat a fluid that, after being converted into steam, can move a turbine to produce electricity. The list continues with different types of effective energy that come from the sea.
Spain finds something unprecedented at the bottom of the sea: 8 countries help to extract it
In this context, a futuristic fuel has been found on the seabed. It is so promising that eight more countries are being added Spain They have gathered for their extraction. We talk about the project Blue Bio Meda multidisciplinary collaboration in which researchers, companies and government agencies from different Mediterranean areas participate.
The purpose of this union is not only in the research of marine resources. It also aims to develop innovative technologies for its sustainable extraction and processing. It searches for renewable energy sources (such as tidal energy or thermal energy from the sea) and also focuses on the search for biomaterials that can later be applied in medicine, the food industry or biotechnology.
With a view to the development of clean and sustainable energy, an ambitious project is underway aimed at extracting hydrogen from various marine sources. The aim is to explore and study different methods to extract H from underwater reservoirs, taking advantage of the energy potential installed on the seabed.
In addition to research on underwater reservoirs, the project also aims to analyze and evaluate other marine resources, such as macroalgae and their potential use in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
These are the 8 countries that will help Spain analyze the seabed
Among the relevant topics of the initiative are coastal protection, sponges (due to their possible use in medicine and biotechnology) and microorganisms to understand their function in biogeochemical cycles and their potential in generating biofuels and sustainable chemicals.
The 8 countries, next Spainare immersed in this project Italy, Croatia, Greece, Slovenia, Montenegro, France, Malta j Portugal. This includes various entities, such as research centres, science and technology institutes, innovation agencies and national and regional governments.
The bottom of the sea is arousing interest: Spain already has help to investigate this
The MED Innovation Alliance for the blue bioeconomy will be an ambitious proposal that promotes inclusive co-design with an innovative community. The focus is on centralizing and coordinating efforts across the entire region of the United States Mediterranean.
The countries mentioned above are committed to accelerating the transition to sustainable development in the blue bioeconomy. Humanity needs drastic changes and these can come through the promotion of the blue bioeconomy, efforts to combat the challenges of the world’s sustainability Mediterranean and the exploration of blue resources.
Certainly, Spain has the support of 8 more countries to realize the potential of the bottom of the sea. If you liked this article, don’t miss this other article about the infinite energy under the sea.
