“…¿Energía para quién? Desafíos para la política pública Los gobiernos de Brasil, México y Uruguay se comprometieron a reducir sus emisiones de GEI para el 2030 en un 43, 25 y 24 %, respectivamente (Rodrigues et al 2018;SEMARNAT 2020;World Bank 2016). Estos tres países han seguido estrategias parecidas para el desarrollo de la energía eólica, incentivadas no solo por los compromisos asumidos en el Acuerdo de París, sino también porque el funcionamiento de hidroeléctricas se ha visto comprometido por periodos prolongados de sequía (De Almeida y Azevedo 2019; Ardanche et al 2018).…”

Brasil, México y Uruguay han adoptado la energía eólica como estrategia para combatir el cambio climático. Sin embargo, sus experiencias son distintas y se encuentran poco documentadas. Este artículo analiza las ventajas y desventajas de la industria eólica con miras a su futura expansión en América Latina. La metodología consiste en sistematizar y analizar la bibliografía existente en castellano, portugués e inglés. Se identificaron cuatro ventajas de la energía eólica (baja huella de carbono, reducidos costos de producción, creación de empleos e ingresos por renta de tierras) y cinco desventajas (pérdida de cobertura forestal, impacto en aves y fuentes de agua, contaminación por derrames de aceite y desechos y afectaciones a la salud). Los desafíos de política pública para la región son: fomentar la investigación sobre los daños socioambientales de la energía eólica y diseñar herramientas para mitigarlos; desarrollar la cadena completa de suministros de manufactura e insumos mediante la innovación tecnológica; repartir equitativamente los beneficios de la industria eólica entre la población local y priorizar la necesidad pública de electricidad, por encima de intereses privados. Mientras estos desafíos no sean asumidos plenamente, los proyectos eólicos seguirán formando parte de una estructura hegemónica que se autoproclama como la solución al cambio climático, pero que sigue manteniendo una lógica extractivista que no beneficia a la población. Abstract Brazil, Mexico and Uruguay have adopted wind energy as a means to fight climate change. However, their experiences are different and insufficiently documented. This paper analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the wind industry in light of its future expansion in Latin America. The methodology consists of the systematization and analysis of literature written in Spanish, Portuguese and English. Four advantages and five disadvantages were identified. The advantages are wind energy’s reduced carbon footprint, low production costs, the potential for job creation and income from land rentals, while the disadvantages are possible vegetation loss, impact on birds and water sources, oil and waste contamination and health damage. The challenges for public policy are: supporting research on the socioenvironmental impacts of the wind industry and designing tools for their mitigation; developing a full supply chain of materials through technological innovation; distributing the benefits of wind energy equally among the local population, and prioritizing public needs of electricity above the interest of the private sector. If these challenges are not fully met, wind energy projects will be part of a hegemonic structure that claims to solve the problems created by climate change, while in fact continuing to use an extractivist logic, incapable of benefitting people.

“…Due to this characteristic, studies have examined the possibility of installing wind turbines in reservoirs of large hydropower plants or even around small power plants [6]. The potential for generating employment due to wind energy in Brazil is 13.5 people / year for each MW between component manufacturing and the first year of the plant.…”

Brazil is one of the largest producers of electricity by means of hydroelectric plants; however, this generation process depends on large volumes of water directly affected by climate changes that, consequently, affect the production of electricity. Thus, the predominant production of electric energy, through hydroelectric plants in Brazil, is increasingly complemented by thermal plants to cope with the rapid growth of demand, the greater the amount of electricity generated by thermal plants, the more expensive is the cost of production and greater is the environmental impact due to the burning of fossil fuels. To combat this alternative, new renewable sources should be used in large scale. The three main sources of renewable energy for electricity generation in Brazil are: hydroelectric, wind and biomass of sugarcane, in specific the sugarcane bagasse. The aim of this study is to present how these renewable sources concentrate in a way regional, with the purpose of presenting how these sources can be complementary in the energy supply, according to the characteristics of seasonality of the same ones.

“…However, the cost limitations and technological requirements associated with them hinder the implementation of renewable sources (Vivek et al, 2021). In contrast, according to some projections, the use of renewable energy in Brazil, mainly energies from wind (Raimundo et al 2018) and solar sources, tend to grow a lot (De Andrade Guerra et al 2015).…”

Objetivo: Analisar os impactos da matriz energética e sua relação com o desenvolvimento sustentável. Metodologia: Classifica-se o estudo como descritivo, composto de métodos mistos, tendo como base os resultados da ANEEL 2020, divulgados no Sistemas de Informação de Geração da ANEEL SIGA, e os resultados da EPE dos anos de 2015 a 2019, divulgados no Balanço Energético Nacional. Resultados: Como principais resultados, destaca-se que a matriz energética do Brasil vem passando por mudanças, especialmente nos últimos cinco anos, levando em consideração as principais energias renováveis consumidas e emergentes no mercado. As energias renováveis no período de 2015 a 2019 tiveram um crescimento em torno de 12%, enquanto as energias não renováveis tiveram uma redução de 8,4%, contudo a matriz energética mundial mostra-se de modo contrária à matriz brasileira, na qual as energias não renováveis tiveram um aumento de 0,1% e as energias renováveis tiveram uma redução de aproximadamente 0,8%. Originalidade / valor: Com o aumento da demanda de consumo de energia e considerando problemas ambientais, como o aquecimento global, a busca por uma matriz energética mais limpa tornou-se o foco de diversas pesquisas. Assim, este estudo visa propor que, tanto no caso brasileiro – o qual já é tratado como exemplo - quanto no caso mundial, pode-se explorar de maneira mais satisfatória suas reservas energéticas, adotando-se uma matriz energética diversificada e eficiente, de modo a reduzir os impactos ambientais.
