Dominant fossil fuels used in Spain are oil products and gas. 2.Where are the dominant fossil fuels mainly used for in your country? (e.g. transport, industry, non-energy use etc.) Oil (72.1Mtoe), and after exports, bunkers and own use (39.5Mtoe) is used mainly for transport (26.8Mtoe) whereas gas (30.5Mtoe) is used in industry (9.0 Mtoe) and power stations (8.8 Mtoe). ![Sankey Balance][1] ![Sankey Final Consumption][2] 3.It is your task to create a new policy in order to improve the environmental friendly and sustainable sources and consumption of energy of your country. How would you do that? Think of how you can improve the sources and the consumption of energy. I think in Spain we have a lot of resources to improve the use of renewal energies….Probably the most evident is solar, as we have so many hours of sun, but Spain has also good conditions to harness wind power. ![annual solar energy][3] ![wind power resources][4] In Spain there is also a high potential for the development of marine energy in the Cantabrian coast , along the Atlantic coast and the Canary Islands . More than 3,500 km of coastline that could have a potential use. ![Maximum power and percentage of demand that would be covered][5] In relation to consumption, we should invest in better isolation for buildings to reduce the heating and cooling. And it would be interesting to promote home working in cities to prevent displacements. Currently the city of Madrid is trying to implement the use of electric cars and bicycle, although the last is not the best due to the topography of the city.
