Present and future of the automotive industry: A classification of propulsion systems

The deployment of electric mobility goes hand in hand with the technological development of electric vehicles. For the light vehicle, aspects such as limited autonomy, recharge time, battery cost, as well as maintenance and weight of the batteries can be an uncertainty for current and potential users.

The Repsol Foundation Chair of Energy Transition at the Polytechnic University of Madrid and Asepa organize this webinar in which some technological advances that could impact the evolution of electric mobility are presented.

Are Spanish shipowners prepared to face the sustainability challenges demanded by maritime transport?

Maritime transport moves 80% of global goods and is essential in European trade, representing 75% of foreign trade. However, it is also responsible for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with a significant impact on the European Union.

To reduce these emissions, regulations such as the MARPOL Convention and the European Fit for 55 package promote the use of low-sulphur fuels, as well as the exploration of alternatives such as LNG and biofuels. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and the EU also promote measures to improve the energy efficiency of ships.
