Una política industrial verde orientada a la reindustrialización que acompaña a la transición ecológica/energética

Abstract

After looking back at the evolution of the sector and industrial policy (taking advantage of the European and global momentum that the ecological and energy transition is undertaking), the aim is now to take a strong leap forward in search of an integrated industrial and energy framework around to emerging productive sectors. The opportunity for reindustrialization comes hand in hand with the abundant -almost non-finite- natural resources available in the Iberian Peninsula for sun and wind (and to a lesser extent, water) and the innovative change that accompanies this unprecedented transformation, which is extends to other and new energy and industrial technologies. The challenge is to set in motion, by the Government, the design and implementation of a Green Industrial (and Energy) Policy that signals and accompanies a new commitment model that would correspond to promoting entrepreneurs and companies, with the collaboration of the rest of the social agents. and institutions and the whole of civil society. This new green industrial policy would have an important territorial perspective, which supports the deployment of renewable technologies, and which would compensate for the dichotomy between the urban space, more inhabited, rich and industrialized, and the rural, interior space, secularly depopulated - today almost empty - and away from average income and opportunities for prosperity. Based on the academic literature and experiences in the institutional sphere of some of the main countries involved, the paper formulates the questions to be asked and the principles, objectives and restrictions that must be managed to formulate a green industrial policy. Finally, the work proposes a model for Spain.
