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.
50% of the treated water is of industrial origin, eliminating pollutants from the water and returning it to the environment without causing a negative environmental impact.
The new plant will be located in the district of Setúbal, specifically on the site of the existing WWTP, but its construction will be carried out without interfering with its operation.
The facility contains a pioneering biological treatment line that includes pretreatment and a lamination tank, which reduces the surface area of the plant and, in turn, its visual and environmental impact. A system will also be installed to reduce odors using a high-performance biofilter.
