"Educational institutions, even universities, have become havens of knowledge that do not live in convergence with the community in which they live. We have to go back to educating with the idea that we are part of society and that we depend on each other. Only by recovering the concept of the idea of living in community will we be able to face the challenges we encounter".

We are living through complex times of great uncertainty so it is good to share our doubts and uncertainties. On this journey towards ZERO emissions and sustainability it is very important to know where we are now and where we are heading. These are points that do not need to generate too much controversy, but the problem starts when we start asking ourselves questions such as when and how to undertake this journey.

In the summer of 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, the EU set out a strategy for the use of hydrogen in a climate-clean and emission-free Europe by 2050, making it one of the key vectors. The goals set were 6 GW installed by 2024, 40 by 2030 and by 2050 to move from 2% to 14-15% of the EU's energy use. A minimum investment of 180,000 million euros is considered, which could reach up to 470,000 million Euros.

“The circular economy has become a slogan. Sometimes one gets the impression that by speaking about the circular economy other things are left aside. Companies are told to improve their efficiency and to recycle, but these ideas are nothing new. What is really needed is a rethink of the entire economic system. Back in the 1980s people spoke about natural capitalism or factor four. That is all very well, but not much has been done since then”.
