rborne Wind Energy is a promising technology with a large potential

 ess material: small carbon footprint, low visual impact, less use of resources

Additional wind resources: increasing global renewable energy potential

High capacity factor: more constant electricity production for system integration

 ow LCOE: potential for lower cost of energy produced

 lexibility: easier logistics, quick set-up

 calability: from few kW to several MW

New markets: Repowering, floating offshore, off-grid

 U national/regional financing:            28.50 mEUR
US funding (SBIR, NFS, ARPAE, …)           12.49 mUSD

 hese amounts do not include:
 § the required co-financing which often is up to 30%, sometimes even 50%
 § institutional funding (e.g. internally funded PhD positions or project teams at companies like RWE, EON, Saipem,
   Engie, ...)
 § private funding, which is likely to be larger than above numbers considering the number of companies in the field
   and employees under payroll.

 panish organisations have not applied for EU funding for AWE R&D yet.

Hasta ahora, la legislación y las normativas españolas no contemplan AWE.

No es realista que AWE pueda ampliarse en mercados energéticos altamente competitivos y regulados sin

 royectos.

 e puede adquirir experiencia en España en lugar de en nichos de mercado lejanos con una logística y una

Posibilidades de desarrollo en España
1] Aun estando por detrás de países como
Holanda, Alemania, Suiza, e Italia, España tiene             Origen            Cantidad
3 actividades singulares y con gran potencial.
                                                   FP7/H2020                 19.69 M€
2] Colaboración estable universidad-industria      National/Regional         28.5 M€
en AWE -> desarrollo en corto tiempo de un         U.S. (SBIR, NFS, ARPAE)   12.49 M$
prototipo de máquina de generación en tierra.
3] Margen amplio de mejora en el retorno de        Estimación de financiación pública
los fondos europeos a España.                      recibida por tecnologías AWE.

4] Experiencia de otros países: creación de 23
empresas, 14 proveedores, creación de puestos
de trabajo altamente cualificados y sinergías
con el sector aeroespacial, energía, etc.
