Currently, the transport sector consumes more than 30% of Spanish final energy. This large energy consumption is based 90% on oil products, which causes two problems: a great dependence on external energy and significant atmospheric pollution due to CO2 emissions. To reduce these two problems in the automotive sector , the solution comes from two technological models: the first is the massive use of vehicles with electric technology due to their high efficiency, reducing the 300 g CO2/km that we emit with a conventional vehicle at 75 g CO2/km with the use of pure electric vehicles connected to the current electrical grid. The second technological model is electricity generation from indigenous and renewable sources, such as wind energy and solar energy .
Both models, on the contrary, cause us other problems that limit our competitiveness and development. On the one hand, pure battery electric vehicles are Asia Mobile Number List limited by the range (<150 km) and by the battery recharging time (> 1 hour), which is viable for certain applications (urban environments, light vehicles, etc.) , but it is not for others (large trips, heavy vehicles and interurban environments). Electric vehicles On the other hand, today the management of the production of electricity from renewable sources such as wind power is a great challenge for production companies or transport network managers, due to its unpredictability, intermittency of the resource and the reduced injection capacity into the electrical grid due to lack of existing infrastructure or due to inflexibility in adapting to the network's demand curve.
Hydrogen technologies are postulated as a technological model based on the aforementioned models, solving the intrinsic problems of each model and therefore the global problem (CO2 emissions) and national problem (energy dependence) and is the solution that the company is currently working on. Aragón Hydrogen Foundation. On the one hand, we have developed the ITHER project based on the production of hydrogen through renewable energies to later use it in the automotive industry, thus achieving optimal management of these energies. In parallel, work has been carried out on the design, sizing and construction of a prototype of special electric vehicles based on a hydrogen fuel cell, in order to understand the behavior of said technology on a real scale.
