Even though the technologies differ, María approaches each opportunity with the same mindset.“ You have to take a hard look at the resources you already have.” She believes regions should start with their own assets, not just import solutions from elsewhere. That same thinking applies to talent as the energy transition is not just about repurposing facilities but building on the region’ s experience, skills, and industrial expertise.“ You cannot overlook the knowledge and experience that already exist in a region like this. They are part of what makes the transition possible.”
As construction moves forward and new energy projects take shape, HUNOSA’ s priorities stretch beyond just biomass. Geothermal, hydrogen, carbon capture, and industrial growth are all part of the bigger transition plan. But one theme ties it all together.“ It is not about destroying what alread
exists and starting over. We have people with an industrial tradition, and we have companies in the region that can help smaller ones develop technology.”
For a company so closely tied to Asturias’ coal industry, the challenge now is to turn that legacy into a foundation for what comes next.“ Projects like this create an opportunity to build what comes next from the strengths that already exist.” ■
