GEAR wins the CYTEMA Award

The GEAR member Mateo Ortiz was awarded by the Scientific and Technological Campus on Energy and Environment (CYTEMA) for his poster presented at the IX Workshop for PhD Students organised by the University of Castilla-La Mancha, which was held in Ciudad Real on the 12th November 2019. The poster was selected as the best poster on scientific research related to energy and the environment. It summarizes the work titled “The carbon footprint of foreign multinationals within the European Union” co-authored by three GEAR researchers: Mateo Ortiz, Mª Ángeles Cadarso and Luis A. López.

We all are delighted with this new distinction which encourages us to work harder.

NEW PUBLICATION IN RENEWABLE & SUSTAINABLE ENERGY REVIEWS

The GEAR Group has recently published the methodological proposal and several results of the 2016’s Photovoltaics Sector Macroeconomic Report in the prestigious journal Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews.

The paper, entitled “Triple bottom line analysis of the Spanish solar photovoltaic sector: A footprint assessment” presents a relevant contribution for the Spanish economy as depicts the economic, social and environmental potential of an energy sector which is expected to be one of the driving sectors of the ecological transition of the Spanish economy.

The paper has been written by Jorge Zafrilla, Guadalupe Arce, María Ángeles Cadarso, Carmen Córcoles, Nuria Gómez, Fabio Monsalve, and María Ángeles Tobarra, all members of the GEAR group and members of the project between UCLM and UNEF for the elaboration of the Macroeconomic Report of the Photovoltaics sector.

We hope you enjoy it!
