Enagás is leading the transition towards a sustainable and decarbonised economy through a number of innovation projects focusing on renewable hydrogen, one of the up-and-coming solutions for the decarbonisation of the global energy system.
Renewable hydrogen is undoubtedly a key energy vector that is shaping the energy transition agenda. Development is advancing rapidly, but it is still largely unknown, which means that perceptions of it can lead to confusion in certain areas.
The metallurgical sector is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. According to McKinsey & Company, steel, aluminium and other metal production accounts for around 8% of global CO₂ emissions and has come under scrutiny to reduce its environmental impact.
Several communities have already begun to deploy their own strategies to attract investment, promote industrial projects and create local ecosystems, as is the case of Castilla-La Mancha, a community with great potential in renewable energies and a strong institutional commitment to place itself on the green hydrogen map.
We interview María Junco, General Manager of Technical Management of the Gas System at Enagás. She gives us her views on the future of the gas system, the integration of renewable gases into it and Spain's role in the European energy context.
