In 1970, the thermal power station of La Robla was inaugurated, which, together with the mining industry, was an economic engine for the Central Mountains of León for several decades. With the disappearance of these activities, there has been a 35% drop in the population due to the lack of employment.
La Robla Green is the integrated project that responds to the demand for new productive projects in the area, linked, indeed, to the new green economy. It is a project that, moreover, fits perfectly with the aim of the administrations to promote quality employment in Just Transition areas.
Robla Green is an integrated project that responds to the demand for new, impactful projects in the area, all linked to the new green economy. It is also a project that perfectly aligns with the administrations' goal of promoting quality employment in areas undergoing a Just Transition.
To promote a new green economy in the territories affected by the end of mining and coal-related activities and by the closure of the old thermal power plant.
To promote projects that have a boosting effect on the local economy.
To stop depopulation.
Directly create new jobs and indirectly promote the expansion of the employment offer in the area.
To make better use of the renewable natural resources (of agricultural origin) of Castilla y León and to value them for the generation of emission-neutral energy.
This location provides the most suitable site for the project as it allows the two plants to coexist in the same space. In addition, the biomass plant can make use of agricultural waste from farmers in the area, while the green ethanol plant is strategically connected to the rest of Spain and to different ports that facilitate exports to Europe and other continents.
