1
00:00:49,820 --> 00:00:53,900
Twenty-first century challenges confronted with the latest technology.

2
00:00:54,020 --> 00:00:59,580
This project brings renewable energy and supercomputing together under one heading.

3
00:01:01,420 --> 00:01:03,420
The research consists principally

4
00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:07,260
of three very, very basic aspects,

5
00:01:07,620 --> 00:01:12,300
one of which is, to determine the effect of renewable energies,

6
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:20,180
to study their impact, to obtain energy efficiency and probably in the end to have the chance to take on projects at this level

7
00:01:20,380 --> 00:01:27,020
and of this importance using supercomputing techniques.

8
00:01:27,180 --> 00:01:30,860
How can this kind of prediction be made?

9
00:01:30,980 --> 00:01:34,900
The heart of the project has its own name: Lusitania.

10
00:01:35,060 --> 00:01:38,420
The role of the supercomputer Lusitania in this project is fundamental.

11
00:01:38,660 --> 00:01:48,820
 We should remember that this tool allows us to tackle extrapolating results in the area of climate change,

12
00:01:48,980 --> 00:01:52,580
the effect of possible renewable energies compared with more traditional ones...

13
00:01:52,620 --> 00:01:59,060
and this, a centre like ours allows us to extrapolate and carry out calculations much more simply.

14
00:01:59,260 --> 00:02:03,540
SIATDECO is advancing at a steady pace and already has some tangible results.

15
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:06,740
We're already working on the creation of the information systems

16
00:02:06,980 --> 00:02:10,220
which will give place to a tool to help decision-making.

17
00:02:10,420 --> 00:02:16,500
But we are also studying the effect that climatic conditions have on the quality of the cork produced in the border region,

18
00:02:16,660 --> 00:02:21,500
and in particular, we already have the result for the energy-giving plants that exist in Extremadura

19
00:02:21,660 --> 00:02:23,820
and in Portugal, specifically in the border area.

20
00:02:24,060 --> 00:02:29,660
Very helpful information for the business community and the authorities.
