The energy of the future: driving the transition to a sustainable model

The need to move towards more sustainable energy models

The need to move towards more sustainable energy models is increasingly evident in a world facing significant environmental and climate challenges. The increase in energy demand forces us to seek alternatives that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and promote more sustainable development. In this regard, the researcher and expert in green hydrogen, María Retuerto, highlights the importance of taking advantage of all available options.

The diversification of our renewable energy sources

The diversification of our renewable energy sources is becoming a pressing need. The energies photovoltaics, Wind power and geothermal represent some of the most promising alternatives to address this energy transition to a cleaner and more sustainable future. These renewable technologies allow us to generate electricity efficiently and significantly reduce GHG emissions.

Green hydrogen as an outstanding solution

Within this scenario, the green hydrogen emerges as a solution with multiple advantages. María Retuerto highlights its versatility and its renewable origin as key aspects for its implementation in various sectors. Green hydrogen has the potential to decarbonize a wide range of industries, in addition to playing a fundamental role in generating zero-emission electricity.

Beyond production: reducing energy demand

However, the transition to more sustainable energy models goes beyond changing the way we produce energy, it involves reducing global energy demand. The energy of the future is built on the basis of a combination of renewable technologies and changes in our lifestyle.

The adoption of renewable energies, such as photovoltaic, wind and geothermal energy, will allow us to generate clean electricity and reduce our GHG emissions. At the same time, green hydrogen presents itself as a promising option for decarbonizing key sectors.

The role of active participation

The path to a sustainable energy future involves the active and conscious participation of all. The transition is not only the responsibility of governments and companies, but also of each individual. We need to take steps to promote sustainable consumption and reduce our dependence on non-renewable energy sources.

What can you use Renewable Hydrogen for?

The main advantage of green hydrogen is that you can introduce decarbonization in other sectors. In this image we can see that it covers the points that the construction sector covers.
