Bayer and Iberdrola electrify production of Aspirin's active ingredient in Asturias
Bayer's plant in La Felguera (Asturias), which produces 100% of the acetylsalicylic acid the company uses worldwide, is replacing natural gas with steam generated from renewable electricity supplied by Iberdrola. The project, structured through the sector's first HPA (Heat Purchase Agreement) and with molten-salt thermal storage designed by INERCO, is expected to avoid around 6,500 tonnes of CO₂ per year. Investment exceeds 18 million euros, of which nearly eight million is contributed by the EU, and involved more than 60 professionals in its initial phase.
