NAVALMORAL DE LA MATA, Spain, July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
- MOU ceremony in Navalmoral de la Mata (Caceres, Spain) witnessed by Spanish
Prime Minister
- The industrial park (cluster) contemplates the construction of a gigafactory
of batteries for electric vehicles; a development and innovation center for the
digitalization of renewable energy systems, a green hydrogen generation plant
and the manufacture of electrolyzers, and a wind power generation plant and the
assembly of smart wind turbines.
- Flagship Net Zero Industrial Park to lead new industry creation and Net Zero
Transition in Spain
Envision Group, a world-leading green technology company, today signed a
General Protocol for Collaboration with the Government of Spain. Mr. Pedro
Sanchez Perez-Castejon, the Prime Minister of Spain, attended and addressed the
ceremony.
Envision's partnership with the Spanish Government covers a wide range of
innovative collaborations in the next five years across various regions of the
country, under the umbrella of the first industrial cluster of net carbon
emissions in Europe. Under the agreement, the first phase of Net Zero
Industrial Park, these are: a gigafactory for batteries for electric vehicles
in Navalmoral de la Mata (Extremadura); a center for development and innovation
in the digitization of renewable energy systems; a green hydrogen generation
plant for the manufacture of electrolysers in Alcazar de San Juan (Ciudad
Real); and a wind power generation and smart wind turbine assembly plant in Las
Navas del Marques (Avila).
It is believed that this business-government partnership will catalyze Spain's
net zero transition and creation of new industry, not only for Spain but also
as an important part of Europe's "building back better" program.
During the ceremony, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez highlighted the commitment
and importance of the partnership with Envision. He said, "We welcome this
important partnership with Envision to accelerate Spain's transition to net
zero carbon by the mid-century. Envision is a strategic partner who can provide
innovative solutions to boost our green economy."
Lei Zhang, CEO of Envision said "We are fully committed to supporting Spain's
national agenda on net zero transition. The creation of new industrial
opportunities such as the Net Zero Industrial Park will unlock the vast
potential of renewable energy in Spain and serve as a gateway to building a
pan-European greentech industrial ecosystem."
The electric vehicle battery gigafactory in Navalmoral de la Mata will have a
capacity of up to 50 GWh in phase 1 and will create 3,000 green jobs with high
added value when it is operational in 2025. The gigafactory is part of the
VENERGY+ Project, which consists of 12 partners from 10 Autonomous Communities
in which suppliers of vehicle parts and components would be located using
advanced technology as part of an integrated battery ecosystem. The project has
been submitted to the PERTE VEC (Strategic Project for Economic Recovery and
Transformation) for the Electric and Connected Vehicle, whose provisional
resolution with the winning bids is expected by the end of August 2022.
As the net zero technology partner of global companies and governments,
Envision aims to develop 100 Net Zero Industrial Parks in the next decade
globally, reducing global carbon emissions by 1 billion tons per year.
