The Logrosán biomass plant in Cáceres, western Spain, offers tangible proof that clean energy generation, forest conservation, wildfire prevention, and rural job creation can go hand in hand.

Over recent decades, ACCIONA has established itself as a global leader in underground rail delivery. Its role extends well beyond boring tunnels, covering the entire lifecycle from geotechnical investigations through to station commissioning.

The ambitious rail line being built by ACCIONA will help connect Clark International Airport with Metro Manila as part of the North–South Commuter Railway, but it is also generating social and human connections that transcend the usual impact of an infrastructure project.

In Peru, building electricity transmission lines can mean working 4,000 metres above sea level, cutting through dense rainforest, or navigating harsh desert. This engineering feat demands, at the same time, listening to local communities, respecting the environment, and preserving an ancient, millennia-old archaeological heritage.

ACCIONA’s recent collaboration with an Australian surfboard manufacturer highlights that there is plenty of life for wind turbines after they complete their operational cycle, all thanks to the circular economy.

The complete overhaul of the Tahivilla wind farm in Southern Spain provides a roadmap for the future of the wind industry; one defined by peak efficiency, a minimal environmental footprint, total circularity, and AI-driven wildlife protection.

Having spent generations learning to conserve heat, buildings and cities face an unprecedented demand: flushing it out. This challenge marks a pivotal new front in urban resilience.

Deserts boast some of the most favourable conditions on Earth for harvesting solar power. Yet turning them into major energy production hubs forces us to question whether, alongside the sun, we can make use of other resources present in these areas.

How do you heat a home in the dead of winter using nothing but the sun? That was the formidable challenge that chemist Mária Telkes set herself in the mid-20th century. And she did just that. 

Traditional street trees like the London plane and linden are struggling under mounting heatwaves and drought, forcing cities to diversify their urban canopy with an eye on the decades ahead.

Europe now faces a critical test: proving that the green transition can only succeed if backed by a more innovative, productive, and resilient economy.

Identity, a sense of belonging, historical insight, traditional skills, education, culture—these are just a few of the benefits that come from understanding our heritage. Various initiatives are stepping up to protect it, proving that the relationship between human progress and cultural preservation can go hand in hand.

The masterpieces of Roman civil engineering did not merely survive an empire: they harbored a sophisticated chemical formulation capable of autonomously repairing its own cracks.

By relocating reverse osmosis to the seabed, deep-sea desalination harnesses natural hydrostatic pressure to generate freshwater, complementing land-based plants in coastal areas.

Renewable energy can be produced from the sun, wind, or water, but it is not always generated where it is consumed most or when it is needed. Power-to-fuel offers an alternative: converting it into hydrogen or synthetic fuels made using renewable electricity.

An interview with the former Dean of Engineering at Columbia University and current Dean of the School of Engineering and Sciences at Tecnológico de Monterrey, widely regarded as one of the world’s leading experts on resilient infrastructure.

From a portable solar-powered wastewater plant in Hawaii to the water and lighting initiatives run by acciona.org in remote corners of the Amazon and Africa, off-grid photovoltaic systems are stepping in to support communities with no access to conventional utilities.

Repurposed as building components for a Danish high-rise, street benches, canopies, and even surfboards, wind turbine blades are enjoying a second lease of life within the circular economy.

There was a time when she was told that women did not belong on a construction site. Today, Jem Danaee Valenzuela Jonislla is Head of Environment and Quality for ACCIONA in Peru, proving that talent and leadership defy every stereotype.

Recent studies reinforce the importance of employee contributions when it comes to improving leadership through upward communication. The key lies in two complementary voices.

In Aesop’s famous fable, the tortoise’s steady consistency wins out over the hare’s reckless speed.

This Aristotelian concept prompts us to put our intellect to practical use; carefully weighing context before taking action, even when a choice seems right on paper.

As ACCIONA’s Commissioning Manager in Vietnam, Raúl Peón Huergo left behind his native Asturias to work across the deserts of Saudi Arabia, where he supervised the commissioning of major water treatment facilities, before taking up his latest role in the tropics of Vietnam.

Wellbeing provides the common ground that brings diverse profiles together across an organisation, aligning individual differences around a shared purpose.
