Abengoa
Annual Report 2009
Letter from the Chairman
Few people today would deny that climate change is a serious consequence of industrial activity, or question the effects on society of the rapid rate at which resources are being consumed. This has led to growing social awareness of the urgent need to achieve a degree of sustainability that will enable our descendents to enjoy the same resources that we ourselves enjoy today.
Given that the activities involved in energy production, transformation and consumption account for over eighty percent of the greenhouse gas emissions in the world today, in order to combat climate change, the development of clean energies and fuels is key to achieving a reduction in these emissions.
