CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION
Ensure access to water and sanitation for all
Over 2,000 million people in the world live without access to a basic drinking water service, and 3,6 billionhave no access to a basic sanitation service, resulting in avoidable deaths, chronic disease, fewer hours of education and low productivity.
ACCIONA has positioned itself as a key player in the water treatment sector. Its innovative management seeks to resolve the challenges with respect to the shortage of water resources.
CLIMATE ACTION
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
The generation and use of energy accounts for 35 % of total greenhouse gas emissions in the world. This activity is the largest contributor to global warming. Investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency and other low-carbon technologies will continue to be essential to meet the emerging needs of humanity and to minimize their negative impact on the environment.
ACCIONA considers the fight against climate change and its effects to be a strategic priority. The company works to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to the progress of society and respond to the main challenges of sustainable development in the areas of infrastructure, water and energy, leading the transition to a low-carbon economy.
ACCIONA will operate a seawater collection system with a capacity of 13 m3/second and a desalination plant with a capacity of 238 liters per second, equivalent to 7,506,000 m3 per year at the new Talara refinery (Peru).
The service includes the supply of desalinated and demineralized water, the collection and supply of seawater, the implementation of a closed cooling system, and the treatment and discharge of industrial and sanitary effluents.
Northern Peru is an arid area with scarce water resources, which causes a general water shortage and makes desalination an alternative for providing fresh water.
At the same refinery, ACCIONA built and operated for 20 years the first industrial reverse osmosis desalination plant ever built in Peru, with a production capacity of 2,200 m3/day. This facility will remain in service from 2001 until January 2022.
