Energy sustainability

We are committed to the challenges of the energy transition and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, which is why we promote innovative self-production projects for renewable energy and energy efficiency.

We are working for a future in which there is less dependence on fossil fuels and for "zero kilometre" energy

What are we doing?

We are working on implementing renewable energy at the Foundation's facilities, committing to efficiency, diversification and innovation, in addition to also committing to the European Union's Agenda 2030 goals for the reduction of emissions and the implementation of renewable energies.

How are we doing it?

Implementation of rooftop solar energy plants and hydroelectric systems for electricity generation, and through an increase in energy efficiency at the Foundation's facilities.

Goal 2030: C-Neutral Foundation

By 2025, we want to sustainably produce 30% of the Foundation's energy, which will represent annual emissions savings of 427 Tm of CO2, equivalent to 272 trees (with trunks 10 m high and 40 cm in diameter).

Actions carried out

Photovoltaic installation at the Món Sant Benet Hotel

At the Món Sant Benet Hotel there is a photovoltaic installation with an installed capacity of 161 kwp and an annual production of 226 MWh. This production represents a saving of 57 tonnes of CO2 per year, the equivalent of 36 trees 10 metres high and 40 cm in diameter.

Hydroelectric jump in Món Sant Benet

In Món Sant Benet, a turbine with a power of 400kwp has been installed, to produce 800Mwh annually which involves the saving of 202Tm of CO2 and 130 equivalent trees. With the turbine, a complete management of the Hydroelectric jump in Món Sant Benet is achieved, where it is managed respectfully with the environment, guaranteeing the ecological levels of the river, at the same time that it is permeable to the aquatic fauna, allowing the difference in level to be saved with the fish scale.

Photovoltaic installation at the Món Sant Benet Factory

At the Món Sant Benet Factory, there is a photovoltaic installation with an installed capacity of 203 kwp and an annual production of 262 MWh. This production represents a saving of 66 tonnes of CO₂per year, the equivalent of 42 trees 10 metres high and 40 cm in diameter.

Visitor service centres

The two visitor service centres at the Congost de Mont-rebei and Can Maçana Natural Areas were built by taking into account energy efficiency and sustainability criteria, meaning they are 100% self-managed with renewable energy.

Photovoltaic installation at the Oms i de Prat school

At the Oms i de Prat school there is a photovoltaic installation with an installed power of 30 kwp which allows 43% of the center's consumption to come from the self-generation of renewable energy. This production represents a saving of 10 tons of CO2 saved per year, the equivalent of 6 trees 10 meters high and 40 cm in diameter.

Photovoltaic installation at MónNatura Delta's visitor center

In a nature center with as many hours of sunshine as the Ebro Delta, a photovoltaic plant could not be missing. It has been installed in the reception building, with a power of 10 kwp and must generate 30% of the electrical energy consumed in the center, which will allow the saving of 3.7 Tm of CO2 annually.
