Electroquímica en IMDEA Energia
Nuestro sistema energético actual no es sostenible desde el punto de vista económico, político ni medioambiental. La necesidad de un cambio radical en la distribución de las diferentes fuentes de energía primaria es un hecho ampliamente reconocido. Existe un consenso generalizado respecto a que la transición hacia un sistema energético sostenible depende en gran medida de nuevos desarrollos científicos y tecnológicos que promuevan y faciliten la aplicación comercial de fuentes de energías limpias y renovables. Para ello, resulta necesario conseguir que estas nuevas fuentes de energía se apliquen a gran escala y con costes competitivos respecto a los combustibles fósiles.
