The Technological and Renewable Energies Institute (ITER) and the Tenerife Insular Energy Agency (AIET) organize, within the framework of the European Seafuel project, the Hydrogen Seminar, the future of local transportation, which will be held this Thursday at 11.00 hours, in the auditorium of the ITER Visitor Center, in the Granadilla Industrial Park.
The purpose of the seminar is to publicize hydrogen technology, as well as the different commitments by public and private entities for its implementation, so as to promote the growth of an environmental awareness and policy based on renewable energies and a system carbon-free transportation. The event is aimed at all people interested in the transport and renewable energy sector, and especially at authorities and companies from both sectors.
The seminar will include the participation of the Seafuel project coordinator, Doctor Pau Farrás from the University of Galway (Ireland); the engineer from the TITSA Technical Office, Andrea Sophia Sánchez Ramírez; the head of Product and Price of Hyundai Canarias, Adrián López Lacalle; the engineer of the Toyota Canarias After-Sales Division, Félix Miguel Micó, and David Sanfrutos, representative of Enagas, who will contribute their vision on the implementation and development of hydrogen technology in Tenerife.
Seafuel will use renewable resources to demonstrate the viability of hydrogen as a fuel in isolated regions, promoting a sustainable transportation system that can be adopted by other regions of the Atlantic. Its innovative approach is based on the connection of fuel stations to photovoltaic, wind and sea energy facilities, generating hydrogen fuel depending on the availability of resources.
Among the actions framed in this project, the installation of a green hydrogen pilot plant in Tenerife stands out. In this way, it is expected that the first renewable hydrogen plant in the Canary Islands will soon be put into operation at the ITER facilities, which will supply fuel to the eight hydrogen vehicles of the project to carry out a study on the socioeconomic impact of the implementation. of this technology in isolated communities.
