Navarre is a European leader in best practices in both the production of renewable energy, historically betting on technology and industry for the development thereof, as well as in the conservation and exploitation of natural resources and environmental management. In fact, it has made the fight against climate change one of its major commitments.
The Foral Region reached the 2020 European targets several years in advance and even generates more electrical energy than it internally consumes. Renewable energy production in Navarre accounts for more than 80% of all electricity consumption.
Whats more, it became the third economic area in the 2008-2013 period in volume of patents by reaching 6.4% of the total with support from the Spanish National Centre for Renewable Energy (CENER).
The aim is to reduce the consumption of fossil energy (fuels) and raw materials by increasing the production of renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency and strengthening emerging sectors based on proper natural resource and waste management. You can find more information on the importance of this sector in the 2020 Navarre Industrial Plan.

The Energy and Industry Geography Lab is a tool for geographical data related to energy, industry and infrastructure. The tool makes it possible to find and filter energy-related data, and create and share maps displaying this data. The Energy and Industry Geography Lab enables analyses and assessments that support Europe’s transition to climate neutrality.
The International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) was launched at the G20 Summit, on the eve of the COP26 UN climate conference in Glasgow. IMEO will bring global reporting on methane emissions to an entirely different level, ensuring public transparency on anthropogenic methane emissions. IMEO will initially focus on methane emissions from the fossil fuel sector, and then expand to other major emitting sectors like agriculture and waste.
An EU-funded project offers an innovative solution to help drive energy efficiency in residential and office buildings.
The catalogue includes examples of Navarran companies that promote a more circular economy and seek international cooperation. If you are interested in being included, contact Montse Guerrero mguerrero@ain.es
The Energy Poverty Advisory Hub (EPAH) – an initiative of the European Commission - has launched its new website with the aim of becoming the centre of energy poverty expertise in Europe for local authorities and all stakeholders interested in taking action to combat energy poverty. The EPAH website provides a clear explanation of what the Energy poverty advisory hub is and what its aims to achieve in the coming years.
Called DEEP 2.0 it is an open source database for monitoring and comparing the performance of investments in energy efficiency. Its aim is to help users better understand the real risk and benefits of energy efficiency investments based on market evidence and tangible background. The platform includes more than 17,000 energy efficiency projects from 30 suppliers.
