The Energy Space will open at the same time so that students can attend during the school day.Both are located in the Central Park of the city, on Calle San Martín at 160.Generally, the Energy Space opens on Thursdays and Fridays, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and on Saturdays from 12 a.m. to 8 p.m., but this time it changed.The objective is to explain, through interactive tools, what the activity carried out by YPF in the extraction of hydrocarbons is like.In turn, the country's basins characterize the geology.On the other hand, tomorrow a seminar entitled "The challenges of the Energy Transition and the role of Vaca Muerta" will take place from 9 to 11:30 in the morning, in the auditorium of the Faculty of Engineering of the National University of Comahue.It is organized by the educational institution together with YPF Luz.The speakers at the seminar will be the executive director of the YPF Foundation, Ofelia Cédola;Martín Mandarano, CEO of YPF Luz;Roberto Kozulj, UNRN researcher;Kurt Taretto, teacher and researcher at UNCOMA;Martín Mallo Huergo, YPF Sustainability Leader;and Daniel Raggio from CNEA.It is a publication of Editorial Río Negro SA All rights reserved.Copyright 2020.
