Energy transition
The transition from the current energy system, which relies primarily on fossil fuels, to a low- or zero-carbon system based on renewable sources, represents an unprecedented challenge for society.
Renewable energy sources
A major contribution to decarbonisation comes from the electrification of energy consumption—replacing fossil fuels with renewable sources and promoting the use of electricity in sectors such as transport—as well as developing technologies to improve energy efficiency and capture and harness greenhouse gases.
In this regard, CITEEC has the human and technical resources to promote scientific priorities and lines of research linked to this approach.

Decarbonisation
Replace energy produced from fossil fuels with energy generated from renewable sources, with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Technological innovation
To develop technologies that improve energy efficiency and facilitate the capture, usage and storage of greenhouse gases.
Energy transition
To promote the energy transition through development of energy storage systems, production, transport and storage of hydrogen, electrification of certain sectors, and digitalisation.
Electrification
To promote the use of electricity in various sectors, such as transport, in particular by using electricity from renewable sources.
CITEEC's proposal
