Abstract
This article focuses on evaluating the potential of renewable energy generation in processes that demand heat/cold inside industrial areas in the Region of Murcia (South-eastern Spain). To this end, the application of solutions similar to those already implemented in the current European project, Enering Life+, focusing on the use of biomass and photovoltaic generation is being studied in order to cover a high percentage of the energy demand of an industrial plant. In particular, this paper assesses the biomass and solar potential available in the surroundings of the industrial areas of the Region of Murcia, in order to evaluate the feasibility of the implantation of sustainable solutions in industrial areas and their impact on the CO2 emissions of the Region of Murcia. This implementation is mainly focused on industrial processes that demand heat/cold, proposing the integration of absorption processes and thus linking the sources used with the final use of energy.
