CENER is the ·National Renewable
Energy Centre” of Spain. It is a technological centre
ori-ented and specialized in renewable energies. CENER is
integrated in the CENER-CIEMAT Foundation.
It is a non profit company, created by the Science and Technological
Ministry of Spain and by Navarra's Government to encourage
both the research and the development of re-newable energies.
CENER has to be distinguished by its high technical level
and quality of ser-vice. It has experienced and recognized
technical staff.
CENER was born in 1999 when the Science
and Technology Ministry of Spain (MCYT), CIEMAT depending
on MCYT and Navarra's Government signed an agreement to create
it. Tech-nical activities started in November 2000. Later
on, in February 2002, the basic structure was established
and the main office was opened in Pamplona. In summer 2002
the Foundation started its commercial activities.
CENER’s Foundation Board is as follows:
CENER, as a foundation, is an organization destined to:
Support the level of the sector competitiveness for helping
companies to reach their R&D needs: Offering high added
value services and activities and Transferring technology.
Support the renewable energies development by means of: The
generation, acquisition and diffusion of high level scientific
and technical knowledge and the support to the market player
and to public institutions in the creation of proper technical
and legal framework
CENER Biomass Energy Department has groups
working on following topics:
• Thermal and Electrical applications (gasification
and combustion)
• Biofuels and Resources Evaluation
• Biodiesel
• Fermentation / Bioethanol
