Issues at the nexus between gender and energy transition
The nexus between gender and energy transition is becoming increasingly relevant in social research. We may ask, why so much insistence on gender in this particular context? The insistence on the inclusion of gender in the energy transition can be explained by two overlapping factors. On the one hand, there are the governmental socio-political mandates […]
Is the Digital Transition compatible with the Energy Transition?
Portugal and Spain are well on track for the Energy Transition. Recent reports, such as the one by the think tank Ember, show that the Iberian Peninsula has one of the cleanest electricity mixes in Europe. Renewable energies will account for 62% of the electricity generated in 2024. With the closure of coal and gas […]
Sufficiency, the forgotten side of the energy transition in Spain
The energy transition model, sponsored by government strategies and large and “renewed” energy companies, focuses its development on a new model that replaces the production capacity from a fossil model with one based on renewable energies. The key aspect focuses on maintaining the level of production by changing the source of energy production. The search […]
Where is the Energy Transition Headed?: STEP Team Research and Preliminary Results
Table 1. Conversations was developed as the first activity of the “Seminar on Energy Transition in the Iberian Peninsula”. In this space, the members of the team intervened to present the preliminary result, discoveries and advances of the research. In addition, a place was provided for the interchange of ideas with those attending the seminar. […]
Armonización de geodatos sobre uso y ocupación del suelo para el análisis transfronterizo de nuevos paisajes de energías renovables en el suroeste de la Península Ibérica
Land use/land cover (LULC) analysis is fundamental in sustainable development planning and landscape interpretation. The study explores the potential of the proposed harmonization of LULC geodata from SMOS (Portugal) and SIOSE (Spain), and updated with Sentinel-2. The spatial scope is the transboundary Lower Guadiana (SW Iberian Peninsula), where the aim is to assess the formation […]
Positive rainfall erosivity trends compared with the reduction in soil erosion in a Mediterranean area (1996-2020)
This work describes a procedure that uses the regression line slope to calculate the time trend of any variable in a raster image with ArcGIS Pro Geographic Information System (GIS) tools. The procedure is applied to estimated mean soil erosion and mean annual rainfall erosivity in the Andalusian territory (Spain) using data from the regional […]
