Alentejo could lead the energy transition in Portugal – Press Releases
The Energy and Climate Forum, an observer consulted by the CPLP, based in Alentejo, believes that it will be presented next Friday in Sines, representing the advance of the change in the energy paradigm and the advance towards a sustainable economy.” Ricardo Campos, President of Energy and Climate Forum highlighted that “the importance of free world prices as Russia visible can increase dependence on free countries, which do not show the importance of accelerating an energy transition. renewable energies and the natural gas power generator from renewable energies will be definitive to decarbonize produced”.
The announcement of the investment in Sines, in a project for the production of green hydrogen and ammonia, is, in the opinion of Ricardo Campos, “after Alqueva, it will lead the Alentejo to be one of the regions with the most growth in Portugal. that one of the most competitive regions for the production of price attraction, which is to invest in Sines Airport, which is Beja’s business, and an education and knowledge system among the best in the country, can receive investments from the main players in the area of sustainable economy”.
The energy transition is an opportunity for Portugal to choose the technology dam on a global scale for the transfer of knowledge to companies, having also today that “with efficient batteries, which will be increasingly efficient for Portugal. electricity production but for water reserves, Portugal has to bet on the storage of electrical energy in large-scale systems – the flow batteries or forms that are already under investigation at other Portuguese universities and polytechnics – will still have to move on to pilot projects or find the knowledge for national companies in the green economy.” Large-scale storage is a solution that, for example, Florida Power and Light is already in use in the United States to replace its combined cycle plants running on natural gas. With the increase in the price of fossil fuels, it could also be a solution for implementation in Portugal and Europe”.
