The company said in a statement that it was “firm in its commitment to the Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley and will continue to invest to create value and employment in the municipalities of San Juan del Puerto and Gibraleón.”
From pv magazine Spain
the International Energy Agency (IEA) published its Global Hydrogen Review 2024
which shows how the clean hydrogen sector is adding more projects and more final investment decisions
“but setbacks persist”: of the 20 GW of electrolysers announced worldwide
only 6.5 GW have confirmed their final investment decision (FID)
two oil companies have threatened to halt electrolyser projects in the event that a 1.2% tax is applied to large energy companies
CEO in Spain of the United Arab Emirates company Go Energy Group
has shared with pv magazine that the company's plans to develop two projects in the Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley are still on track: specifically
a 100 MW green hydrogen and ammonia plant in San Juan del Puerto
The investment for the two projects will exceed €300 million
despite “the recent appearance of news about some energy companies that have decided to stop their investments or renewable energy projects in Spain” last week
“the two applications for Integrated Environmental Authorization from Go Energy have been registered to continue with all the administrative procedures required to start the construction of the aforementioned industrial plants
which require a multi-million euro investment.”
The company adds that “all the documentation submitted to obtain the Integrated Environmental Authorisations has been prepared by a multidisciplinary team of more than 50 people belonging to different leading companies such as engineering group TSK
and local companies in the province of Huelva for environmental aspects and other types of specialised studies on soil
they explain that they intend to promote specialised employment in the municipalities of Gibraleon and San Juan del Puerto “and that is why they are designing a very comprehensive training plan with local corporations
allocating resources for this purpose.”
the president of Go Energy Group has visited countries such as Japan
where he has found great interest from large corporations to establish collaborations in the company's investments in Spain,” he explains
The company is also developing two renewable hydrogen projects in the Balearic Islands using alkaline technology
as well as a green hydrogen plant in the Valencian Community town of Almussafes

This is a 30-kilometer-long infrastracture that connects the towns of Huelva
bringing them closer to the great environmental
and built wealth that encompasses the vast protected natural space of the Odiel marshes
The main objectives are: non-motorized accessibility between the three mentioned localities
through a multimodal road that stretches along the edge of the river’s northern estuary; and repair of the degraded urban-rural boundaries
through regeneration of the environment and improvement of its scenic image
It is punctuated by a series of elements (pergolas
as strategically located architectural-sculptural pieces of territorial acupuncture
The course continuously swings between the XXL scale of the territory and the intervention itself
The strategy involved remembering the area’s rich natural and cultural heritage
and to maintain its essences: its riverside
and its conception as a major scenic viewpoint from rural land
All this is achieved through curved and natural
the project resorted to those historically used in the region: breakwaters
water crossings reinterpreted with honeycomb panels

Seville-based Estudio de Arquitectura Javier Terrados has completed a new health centre in Gibraleón
Located next to a small museum and overlooking the town’s open-air arena
the 1,916 sq m building strikes a monumental
The health centre is entered through a sheltered garden next to the arena
which was created by the municipality for public events and performances
‘In this way we intended to create a sequence that could lead to a progressive withdrawal from the urban daily activity,’ explains the studio
Commissioned by the regional government’s health service
the centre sits across from a municipal event hall and CODAC
a compact museum for contemporary art built in 2010 – the cuboid and minimal architecture of which is echoed in the new building
The material palette of the health centre’s architecture includes granite
the design aims to create a bright and peaceful atmosphere for visitors
An array of large windows look on to several enclosed patios and internal green spaces with trees
a row of narrow granite pillars creates slim vertical windows for the circulation areas
enabling views and daylight whilst ensuring an element of privacy
A clear central circulation axis organises the whole building following a comb-like scheme across two floors
with corridors leading to a sequence of surgery areas
instead of the usual fenestrated administrative building,’ the architects explain
The health centre includes facilities for physical therapy

a premium variety managed exclusively by CVVP AIE
has opened the second season mandarin campaign and is already being sent to export markets from farms such as Golden Citrus
we have been the forerunners in the production of Leanri in Huelva
Today we have 180 hectares in production with this CVVP variety and we are excited about its production," said Enrique Alegre
"The Leanri mandarin is truly an excellent variety
it does not contain the essential oils that usually remain on your hands when you peel an orange or another mandarin
and it also has an exceptional caliber and is free of seeds
it has a magnificent reddish orange color."
According to the information provided by its club
"We believed in the variety from the beginning and started planting and grafting it on our farms 5 years ago
We expect to produce about 2 million kilos from the more than 100,000 Leanri trees we are growing this year
we will increase the production to 8 million."
"Huelva is an ideal area for the cultivation of clementines and mandarins
because we thought that the harvest would start at the end of January
but in this area it is starting in December
we have started harvesting the first volumes on December 21
before the arrival of the Nadorcott or Tango mandarins."
The variety's early ripening in the province puts the Leanri mandarin in a favorable position in the second season premium hybrids campaign
arriving ahead of varieties which were traditionally the first during this period
"The Leanri remains in very good condition while on the tree and the harvesting runs from December until part of March
and exporters tell us that the fruit can be perfectly preserved in cold storage," said Enrique Alegre
"Our plantations have already aroused the interest of many growers"
Just as it has been a pioneer with the cultivation of Leanri in Huelva
Golden Citrus was also one of the first companies to bet on the production of Nadorcott in the province
growers were reluctant to introduce the variety
which also involved the payment of royalties
we could argue that citrus specialties have saved the sector
an excellent mandarin that still has some good years ahead of it
have played an essential role in the rebirth of Spanish citriculture."
"Spain is an extraordinarily active country when it comes to innovation and is currently a leader in the Leanri mandarin segment
a variety that is going to have a share and a niche in the premium market
It has already aroused the interest of many growers - not only from Huelva
such as Seville or Valencia - who have even come to our farms to get to know it," said Enrique

22 Sep 2019THE Island with Bear Grylls fans are enjoying the return of the classic survival show
But where exactly is the Channel 4 show filmed
Here's what we know about the island..
The Island will be filmed on a group of remote
The official synopsis says: "The Island with Bear Grylls is the ultimate survival challenge and, in the fifth series,
"Two separate groups have been abandoned at opposite ends of a remote uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean."
Bear was particularly coy about the exact islands but we can reveal that the series has been filmed on Isla Gibraleon and Isla San Telmo - both uninhabited and carpeted in dense jungle.
The contestants will face extreme tropical weather, limited resources and environmental hazards.
The first two series featured the island Isla Gibraleón, off the coast of Panama in the archipelego of Las Perlas.
The nearby Isla San Telmo featured in the second and third series.
The fourth series used Isla Bayoneta and a smaller neighbouring island close enough to reach at low tide.
The Island is a tough reality TV show which sees groups of ordinary people try to survive in a team on a remote island without being given any food or shelter.
The first series just featured men, and the second two series featured separate groups of men and women.
In the fifth series, the group of 16 islanders will be divided up according to their income.
The first eight castaways are all wealthy professionals living off an average income of £100,000 a year – a wage only earned by a fraction of Brits.
The other group all earn below the UK national average wage.
The series looks at the issue of wealth disparity, and whether our economic security at home affects our ability to cope in the wild.
It will go up against Lenny Henry: The Commonwealth Kid on BBC One, Dave Allen at Peace on BBC Two, Marcella on ITV and Inside the Railway on Channel 5
If you miss the episode you will be able to catch up on Channel 4's on-demand service
Each episode runs for an hour and there will be five episodes in total this series

The New Year will also bring the start of the new Leanri mandarin campaign
we at Golden Citrus expect to produce about 3 million kilos of Leanri mandarins
which will start to be harvested between late December and early January
with very good Brix levels," says Manuel Jarén
general manager of the Huelva-based company
The Leanri was one of Golden Citrus's big bets within the premium second season mandarin segment
"We were focused on seeking varieties that were good for the consumer
aiming to deliver a product with the right taste
which is something that the markets had forgotten about
we are one of the largest producers of Leanri mandarins in Spain," says Manuel
"It is one of our group's flagship products."
"We already have about 130 hectares planted
and since some saplings are not yet fully productive
we expect that the harvest will continue to grow in the coming years
until the trees reach their maximum potential
The Leanri is a variety that requires good technical management
so the extreme drought conditions we are experiencing in Huelva have not facilitated its cultivation this season; however
the production will continue to increase year after year."
The Leanri harvest in the company's fields in Gibraleón will continue until February 15-20
Other premium mandarin varieties that the company produces in this second part of the citrus season will be harvested during the same period
we are 100% committed to producing the best quality fruit."

"Our homeowners' community" saves on electricity with Endesa
Endesa, through its renewables division Enel Green Power España (EGPE), has received Unified Environmental Authorisation (AAU in Spanish) for the construction of three new solar plants in Spain
These are the solar plants of Campos de Al-Andalus I
which will be located in Huelva and in which Endesa will invest €73 million
The new solar plants will have a total capacity of 109 MW that will be added to the 1,663 MW of photovoltaic capacity that Endesa has in Spain with 45 plants in operation
All Endesa's solar plants in Spain produce a total of 3.5 million kWh each year
equivalent to the consumption of 1 million Spanish homes
These three environmental authorisations now received are in addition to the 23 already granted in Andalusia
To be granted an Environmental Impact Report (AAU in Spanish) is one of the essential requirements to be able to build a renewable installation
and Endesa is now processing the necessary documentation to be able to start construction work in the first half of 2024
Endesa will apply a sustainable construction model in these new plants
and the materials used in the construction will subsequently be donated to the local community to be used by different entities
This is precisely one of Endesa's renewable subsidiary's main axes
which also includes collaboration in improving employability
This project by Endesa's renewable subsidiary
was planned from the processing phase to include preventive environmental measures associated with the protection of flora and fauna
by adapting the installations to enable the free movement of species and creating a plant screen
In order to maximise the social-economic impact that the projects will have on the community
Endesa's priorities include employing local labour and contracting services
operation and maintenance of photovoltaic panels will be organised
with a view to training and promoting a specialised local workforce
45 solar plants and 1 biomass plant in Spain
This renewable capacity will increase in 2023
through its renewable subsidiary Enel Green Power España
continues to be committed to this technology for the energy generation of the future
Endesa currently manages 9,293 MW of installed renewable capacity in Spain
including the following: 4,668 MW of conventional hydraulic power; 2,882 MW of wind power
the digitalisation of grids through e-distribution
The Endesa Foundation is also active in CSR
Our workforce numbers around 9,260 employees
The Junta de Andalucía regional government has decided to bring forward the second dose of the measles vaccine in areas that have been affected by recent outbreaks in various municipalities in the region
which involves administering the second dose at 15 months instead of 3 years of age
aims to stop the spread of the disease among children that
have been too young to receive the dose as per protocol
While this practice will be implemented throughout the region from next year
the municipalities with current outbreaks will have the regulation enforced immediately
some areas of Malaga city and the Huelva municipality of Gibraleón
Last week saw the latest outbreak reported by the regional ministry of health
Andalucía has a vaccination rate that exceeds the 95% recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO)
the regional health ministry's investigation inspected and discovered that almost a third of the cases (29%) have been imported from other countries: Morocco (11)
All of them have not yet been vaccinated due to not having reached the minimum age
47% were children under 15 and 53% were adults (18-65 years)
Only two of these cases had a documented history of receiving one dose of the vaccine; 25 were not vaccinated and in 22 the vaccination status is unknown
Hospital admission was required in 45% of cases
11 are isolated cases in which the source of infection is unknown
one in Huelva and one in Palos de la Frontera
Seven measles outbreaks have been confirmed so far
The first was detected on 6 February in a nursery in Fuengirola
with 10 cases mostly affecting babies in the 0-12-month age bracket
The second outbreak was reported on 18 February
six cases with unknown origin were confirmed in a secondary school in Mijas
an outbreak of four cases of imported origin was reported in Lepe (Huelva)
The affected were Moroccan workers who had arrived in Spain on 10 February
Another outbreak was detected in an aviation school in Malaga province on 17 March
with two confirmed cases and one pending confirmation
The fifth outbreak was reported one day later
with two cases and one pending confirmation in the family of one of the infected Malaga
The sixth outbreak - a pair from a family of Moroccan origin - was declared on 29 March in Moguer (Huelva)

Spanish blueberries of the new season are slowly starting to arrive in the market
"The quality and size of the fruit are very good after a successful flowering
and we expect the production to yield very good results this year," says Higinio Cardona
around the same time as last year; maybe even a week ahead
because the good weather conditions have had a notable influence on the fruit's ripening
but we must bear in mind that we are in February and cold waves could still come and bring the production to a halt," he says
"What matters most is that buyers are very happy with the fruit and with the fact that the Spanish campaign has already started"
but we shouldn't count our chickens before they hatch
There is currently a shortage of blueberries in the market and we don't know yet what will happen throughout the campaign
although everyone talks about it possibly delivering very good results due to the overall shortage of blueberries
not only here in Spain because of the drought
but also in Peru due to the impact of El Niño
Forecasts point to a new campaign with good results
It is worth recalling that in the 2022/23 campaign
despite production falling by 16% (according to data provided by the Government of Andalusia)
the blueberry sector's turnover reached a new record after growing by 2% compared to the previous season thanks to a significant increase in fruit prices
"Last year ended well in terms of prices," says Higinio
have risen and this increase will have to be reflected on the fruit's price."
National strike of agricultural producers and shippersOn February 1
Huelva's berry sector participated in a large demonstration that took place in Seville

The recent heavy storms and floods in eastern Spain have left an apocalyptic scenario behind in many municipalities in the province of Valencia
Hundreds have lost their lives and around 1,900 missing people are still being sought
hail and strong winds are expected to have caused substantial direct losses to the agricultural sector
vegetables and vines in the regions of La Ribera
The losses and damage to infrastructure are very severe
with rural roads almost completely washed away
farms completely destroyed by landslides and trees swept away by the violence of the waters
and many hectares of crops are still flooded and inaccessible
A good part of the crops in the flooded fields may be lost and many trees may suffer from root asphyxia due to excessive humidity and die
the Spanish Kaki Association expects more than 70% of the production to be lost in many areas
with a lot of fruit fallen from the trees and considerable damage to the plantations
This damage is not only affecting this season's crop
but will likely affect crop yields in the coming years
given that many trees have suffered structural damage that will require time and costly recovery efforts
The Valencian Community is the main kaki exporter
accounting for almost 70% of Spain's total exports
the citrus production has suffered significant damage
especially the early and mid-season varieties
although the mandarins and oranges that were scheduled to be harvested this month will also be affected
The solidarity of Valencian producersAlthough thousands of hectares of crops have been severely damaged
producers are prioritizing work in the towns
vehicles and other materials and even rescuing people with tractors
as well as from the provinces of Castellon and Alicante
together with neighbors and local businesses
were in fact the first to try helping people trapped in their homes and to partially or totally clean up the town center
A producer from Picanya said: "I still haven't been able to go and see the condition my fields are in; the priority is to fix the homes and streets."
More than 30 kilometer long traffic jams in ValenciaValencia has started the week with traffic jams on the main accesses to the capital and the metropolitan area
due to the fact that many of the roads are still inaccessible and that the focus of the little infrastructure recovery that has already been undertaken has been on facilitating the work of the emergency teams
The Integrated Operational Coordination Center (CECOPI) of the Government of Valencia agreed last Sunday on a 48 hour extension of the restriction on the circulation of private vehicles on the access roads to the municipalities that have been most severely hit; a measure that has been in force since last Friday night
Message from the Valencian company Sanifruit
from Chiva"We are among those affected by the storm and floods which have devastated our town
we would like to confirm that everyone here at Sanifruit is safe and sound," said brothers Javier and Erica Biel
we have suffered material damage that we have tried to alleviate by working together
We aim to resume our activity as soon as possible so that we can continue providing a service to our clients
we are once again operational and providing national and international service
Our colleagues are ready to provide the necessary service and attention," they say
and we need to be strong and work together in order to move forward
We feel grateful for all the support we have received
your messages and all the spontaneous help provided to our town
This is giving us the necessary energy and faith to carry on," they say
5,000 hectares have been damaged in Almeria
citrus fruits have been hit in Malaga and strawberries have been spared in HuelvaIn Andalusia
greenhouses and vegetable infrastructures have also been damaged in the province of Almeria
where the Andalusian regional Government has estimated the number of damaged hectares at 5,000
and there has also been a lot of damage to agricultural infrastructure
the rainfall has been considerable in municipalities such as Aljaraque
where almost 150 mm of rain were recorded on November 1
according to the Huelva Provincial Council
"the benefit of the rains has outweighed the damage they may have caused," says Manuel Alfaro
the planting in our fields lasts until around October 20
but this year the nurseries have taken a little longer than usual to deliver the strawberry plants and we have been working in the planting until October 31
the damage caused by the storm has been more limited than it would have been if the greenhouses had already been mostly covered"
Red alert in Catalonia due to stormIn the last few days
rain has also been in the headlines in Catalonia
where flooding has been recorded on some roads in Barcelona and at El Prat airport
and in particular the province of Barcelona
leading the authorities to activate red alerts due to the heavy torrential rains recorded
The weather has already caused the flooding of some roads
so the Catalan Government issued warnings for the population to take precautions
