Un projet combiné intéressant: Spain's
Endesa plans experimental renewables plant
SPAIN: October 3, 2002
MADRID - Spanish power utility
Endesa said yesterday it plans to start using the world's first system
for producing hydrogen
(and non-drinking water) by 2006 in an
experimental project to produce renewable energy.
The European Commission will
finance half of the 6.1 million euro ($5.99 million) budget for the plant,
which will be built on Spain's Canary Islands.
The plant will be self-sufficient
and will produce electricity, heat and non-drinking water and will also
include a water desalination plant, Endesa said in a statement.
During periods of low demand,
surplus energy will be used to produce hydrogen, which can then
be stored in fuel cells for periods of high demand.
Wind
power will be used to power the plant until
natural gas is installed on the Canary Islands
, Endesa said.
