“…Some of the studies compiled in this paper show the current interest shown by several Latin American countries in renewable energies, reflected in the technological development and implementation of infrastructure for the use of solar and wind energy in their regions. In this context, the energy transition process arises to replace the use of fossil fuels by the use of renewable energy sources in order to reduce carbon emissions that negatively affect the environment [2,[28][29][30][31][32].…”

“…This must be complemented by boosting energy efficiency and reducing consumption, as well as increasing energy security and delaying capital investments. Consequently, the advantages of carrying out energy efficiency activities go beyond reducing carbon emissions, as they also translate into lower operating costs [2,30].…”

Nowadays, the increase in global energy demand is notorious, a situation that, in turn, impacts the environment through the generation of pollutants that are harmful to the planet. In this sense, an energy transition towards clean energy sources, also known as renewable sources, is essential, as well as better energy management and a responsible use of available natural resources. In this context, the objective of this systematic review was to analyze the use of renewable energy sources in Latin America, in addition to the guidelines established for their use, and the consequences of the use of non-renewable sources. Therefore, the PRISMA method was applied, and 60 publications were selected, from which the existing interest in this region in combatting the increase in energy demand and the use of fossil fuels through renewable energies is evidenced. Finally, it is concluded that there is still a need for greater dissemination in the region regarding this problem, as well as greater actions on the part of industries and governments to make proper use of this type of energy source.
