GEAR team member, Jorge Zafrila, has recently published the first outcome derived from the multidisciplinary collaboration with some other researchers within the University of Castilla-La Mancha. This new research line evaluates disruptive and new CO2 removal strategies applied to agri-food industries.

This first paper, written by Carlos Alonso-Moreno, J. Julián Garde, Jorge E. Zafrilla, Jesús Canales-Vázquez, Abdessamad Guedari, & Santiago García-Yuste, has been published in the Journal of Cleaner Production and is entitled “The Carbon Dioxide-Rumen Fermentation Processes-strategy, a proposal to sustain environmentally friendly dairy farms”.

Congrats!!

Presentation of the «Photovoltaics Macroeonomic Status Report»

The Global Energy and Environmental Economic Analysis Research Group (GEAR) from the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) has developed the macroeconomic status report of the photovoltaic sector in Spain, entitled “El desarrollo actual de la energía fotovoltaica en España”.

The press release of the presentation was held last September 13th in the UNEF’s headquarter in Madrid. Jorge Zafrilla, the coordinator of the report, highlighted the current macroeconomic situation of the sector and its optimistic future regarding the current and forthcoming legislation on renewables energies in Europe and Spain. At the same time, the UNEF’s general manager, José Donoso, and the UNEF’s president, Jorge Barredo, presented the «2017 UNEF’s Annual Report«.

The project has been developed in the framework UNEF (Unión Nacional Fotovoltaica) and GEAR-UCLM collaboration agreement.

GEAR acknowledges UNEF the confidence in the Academic Research, as helps to spread to the society and to the economy the scientific knowledge.

GEAR participated in the Seminar on Sustainable Economy

Last May 17th, the GEAR members Jorge Zafrilla and Luis Antonio López, were invited to present the insights of the UNEF-UCLM new collaboration about the Macroeconomic Report of the Photovoltaics Spanish Industry. The project proposal and some methodological and databases aspects, were presented in the 2nd Edition of the Seminar on Sustainable Economy, organized by the homonymous Research Group from the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences of the UCLM in Ciudad Real.

Thanks to all of the participants for the comments and suggestions, and thank you to organizers for the invitation. We recommend following the events and contributions of this top research team following the Research Group updates in their Social Media profiles (Facebook and Twitter) and in their Website.

We will talk you soon about this new and challenging project we have signed with UNEF.

 

GEAR in national press (Materia – El País)

María Ángeles Cadarso, the GEAR’s Group co-director, has participated today in MATERIA, the scientifical section of the national newspaper EL PAÍS.

The interview is related to a recently Nature Climate Change published paper about the Global Tourism Industry impact on Climate Change.

María Ángeles has provided some Spanish carbon footprint evidence for the case of the Tourism Industry. Comments are based on some of the results shown in previously GEAR’s published papers in the Journal of Cleaner Production and in the Journal of Sustainable Tourism.

Big pleasure!
