Juan Ignacio Entrecanales, in his capacity as Vice Chairman of Acciona, welcomed the Indian Leaders at its headquarters in Alcobendas. The corporate presentations were led by Félix González Yagüe, Strategy Director; María Cordón, Corporate Development and IR; Elena González Sánchez, Director of Energy Efficiency; and Alejandro Jiménez, Strategy and Business Development Director.
They focused on one of the key topics for the Indian Leaders, the circular economy, which has a direct impact on 80% of the SDGs with an extraordinary transformative capacity for job creation and economic development. Acciona showed the Leaders its capabilities in circular economy, thanks to its more than thirty years of experience and dozens of ongoing projects in the five business lines of circular economy.
One of the most interesting business lines for the Indian Leaders was "Waste to Energy", that is, the use of waste to generate renewable energy and thus reduce landfill storage and pollution. Acciona is able to transform waste into renewable energy thanks to its three waste-to-energy plants in Australia and Scotland. In total, these three plants will annually dispose of up to 850,000 tons of municipal waste and produce up to 619 MWh of clean electricity per year.
