What good is an electric car without charging points with renewable energy?

To meet the goals of climate change and

is essential to reduce transport emissions, which account for up to 30% of the harmful gases that are emitted into the atmosphere.

To achieve this, it is not only necessary that the different means of mobility be or tend towards zero emissions, but that all the processes of their development, production and surrounding ecosystem are environmentally sustainable.

A clear example is the one explained by José Enrique Román, the vice president of Boeing Global Technology, "what is the use of dedicating millions of euros to lighten an airplane wing and thousands of hours of our engineers,

.

The statement was produced within the conference 'The new mobility: circular, transversal and sustainable', held in Madrid and organized by the CEOE and the BMW Group.

Transversality

One of the keys to reducing emissions lies in transversality. «" For example, our

. It is available for Madrid and Barcelona. If we are able to make the citizen aware, they will use the plug-in hybrid in a more efficient way, because we all know that this vehicle can always circulate in combustion mode but that is not its objective ", explained Manuel Terroba, president of BMW Group Spain.

It is about seeking efficiency throughout the zero-emission transport value chain.

Iberdrola's global director of Smart Mobility, Raquel Blanco, stated that "an electric vehicle at the local level reduces emissions and noise, but the important thing is that it moves with renewable energy. We have to ensure that manufacturing processes are efficient, not It is only enough to use renewable energy in the manufacture of vehicles, but also in the dealerships with photovoltaic energy ".

Price, autonomy and recharge

Because the electric vehicle still has the handicap of price, autonomy and the lack of public charging points.

"Although

are made, we must work to shorten the times to install these public fast charging points. The citizen is clear about the efficiency of electricity for the city , but he doubts whether to buy it to go to the beach, "said Blanco.

In addition to the private vehicle, one of the ways to reduce the carbon footprint is achieved with the new forms of mobility that have emerged in the city, such as vehicle sharing.

The head of mobility at Acciona, José María López-Galiacho, said that

made by its Spanish subsidiary Silence],

; but by introducing the

it they will use older people and we will reach the female public to raise awareness of the use of zero emission vehicles ".

However, the introduction of the electric vehicle requires that the Autonomous Communities and municipalities have

"The city of

, which makes no sense if you travel by electric motorcycle," according to López-Galiacho.

But transport not only moves people but also goods, movements that have increased with the rise of electronic commerce and the pandemic.

Goods

Enrique Torre, Sales Director of Siemens Mobility, put on the table

which, with electrified tracks and hydrogen locomotives, would help to eliminate part of vehicle emissions heavy vehicles that circulate on the roads. "

In this sense, José Enrique Román from Boeing, recalled that "30% of the value of global trade is transported by plane.

. We need synthetic kerosene ,

with public incentives rather than fees from governments. "

Recycling

Finally, to close the circle of the zero-emission transport ecosystem, recycling is key.

"The

and all plastics come from recycling. Specifically, discarded fishing nets or collected from the sea have been used," explained Manuel Terroba.

In this sense, López-Galiacho recalled that the new

incorporated in Acciona's motorcycles can have a

Yes to the private car in Madrid

The mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, said at the closing of the day that "the private vehicle in Madrid cannot be eradicated.

. We are in favor of renewing the fleet and incentives to achieve it ".

And he added: "With the use of the private but renewed vehicle, it will be possible to reach the decarbonisation goal of 2050."

He opted for the administrations to generate the framework so that charging points can be installed.

because there is a use of public land and it generates complications."

Finally, he said that the City Council has to lead by example and that is why
