Circular Economy and Waste Management: Sustainable Business Models Focusing on Renewable Energies such as Biomethane and Hydrogen

Context:

Naturgy seeks to support up to 10 seed-stage entrepreneurial projects over six months that offer innovative solutions with a positive social or environmental impact in the energy transition. Through an incubation process, the talent and transformative capacity of entrepreneurs will be enhanced, facilitating their development. Additionally, relationships between society and the company will be strengthened through collaboration with Naturgy employees, who will contribute their knowledge through training, mentoring, and activities. Finally, one project will be selected to receive additional support of up to €25,000.

Opportunity:

Circular Economy and Waste Management: Ventures that address circularity, incorporate it into their business model, and throughout the product lifecycle, focusing on the energy recovery of materials, such as biomethane, hydrogen, and other renewable gases (SDG 12).

What Are We Looking For?

The third edition of the Connecting Energy Program is aimed at individuals or legal entities with innovative projects operating in the field of energy transition and seeking to generate a positive social or environmental impact. Projects must be driven by entrepreneurial teams that require support to develop their business plan, with at least one of the partners or founders committed to participating in all program activities. Teams of any nationality are accepted, provided their company is registered in Spain or commits to doing so. Projects with a prototype or minimum viable product, legally established, and/or that have received some form of recognition will be positively valued.
