The electrical system leads the reduction of emissions
During the presentation of the II Exolum Trend Observatory, the third vice president and minister for the Ecological Transition, Sara Aagensen, pointed out that the energy transition in Spain is entering a demanding phase, where the main challenge is no longer technology, but rather its rapid, large-scale and competitive deployment.
The report also indicates that decarbonization is not progressing in the same way since the electrical system leads the reduction of emissions, while sectors such as transport, industry or buildings present greater difficulties.
The observatory is committed to combining different technologies and maintaining technological neutrality to advance towards the objectives of the PNIEC, adapting to the particularities of each sector. In this context, the CEO of Exolum, Javier Goñi, stated that the energy transition must also be understood as a logistical transition, highlighting the importance of efficiently connecting new energy vectors with consumption points to guarantee supply and competitiveness.
