SECONDARY SECTOR IN SPAIN
INDEX:● secondary sector in
spain● industry● raw materials● energy sources● renewable and non-
renewable sources
-Activities concerned with transforming raw materials into products that satisfy human needs
● Industry (most important)● mining● energy production● construction
SECONDARY SECTOR IN SPAIN-30% of the population works
-Three important types in the industry:
❖ -The primary industries: transform the raw materials into other materials.
❖ -Equipment and machinery industries: produce tools and machinery which other industries need.
❖ - Consumer industries:manufacture products to sell directly to the consumers.
INDUSTRYTRANSFORM RAW MATERIALS INTO…
Manufactured products: for direct consumption
Semi finished products: to be used in other industrial processes
INDUSTRY REQUIRES 3 ELEMENTS
RAW MATERIALS
ENERGY SOURCES
FACTORS OF PRODUCTION:
● Labour force (employees)● Capital (money)● technology
RAW MATERIALS“Natural resources that industry transforms into manufactured or semi finished products”
PLANT SOURCED - Agriculture (sugar, cotton, linen...)
- silviculture (wood, cork…)
RAW MATERIALS ANIMAL SOURCED -livestock/ farming (wool, hides, silk…)
-fishing
GEOLOGICAL -minerals (iron, aluminium, copper…)
- rocks (granite, marble…)
-energy products (coal, natural gas…)
RAW MATERIALS
ENERGY SOURCES
TRADITIONAL
(Most widely used)
OIL
COAL
NATURAL GAS
NUCLEAR FISSION
HYDROELECTRIC (only renewable)
ALTERNATIVE
(renewable but still too expensive)
BIOMASS
WIND
SOLAR
GEOTHERMAL

RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES IN SPAIN
produce zero carbon emissionsSpain has long been a leader in renewable energy (45-69% of its energy
needs from renewable energy sources)
Most of the renewable electricity in Spain comes from wind (first country in the world to have relied on wind as its top energy source for an entire year)
often competes with nuclear for the title of Spain’s top electricity source also developing other renewable sources of energy, particularly solar
photovoltaic.·
Wind power 19.1%
Hydroelectric 11.1%
Solar PV 3.1%
Solar Thermal 2.1%
Renewable Thermal 2.0%
TOTAL RENEWABLE 37.4%
Spain’s renewable electricity coverage through years

MAIN INDUSTRIAL REGIONS
Problems in spanish industry
-Competitive with other countries
-A lot of enterprises are small or medium
-It have a limited investigation
-Scarcity of qualificate workers
-The technology is behind and dependent
Problems with offshoring
Offshoring is the relocation of a business process from one country to another.
For example: some enterprise of Spain went to China to produce there but they had to came back.
Problems with environment-The excessive use of the natural resources.
-The pollution that it can cause is very big.
-The effects that can to the landscape.
SECONDARY SECTOR IN THE BASQUE
COUNTRY
SECONDARY SECTOR IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY
In the Basque Country industries were located around “Nervioi” river and it was based on the iron extracted from the mines of the region .
the industrialization was possible thanks to the restructuring of the activities, the improvements of communications and the creation of banks.
PROBLEMS IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY
The Basque Country has its own and privileged tax system, the can’t be found in any region of any other federal or centralized state.
The design, management and control of the main taxes belong to the regional tax authorities of the Basque Country.
“Global effective tax pressure” is slightly below to that of the rest of Spanish regions.
RAW MATERIALS IN BASQUE COUNTRY
The industry can be transformed in raw materials, finished, semi finished or intermediate products
The other raw materials that are : industry , energy and mining
