Vulnerabilidad y riesgos del sistema energético ecuatoriano frente al cambio climático y las políticas de sostenibilidad ambiental
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Este estudio analiza los escenarios futuros de emisiones de CO2 en Ecuador hacia el año 2050, considerando la relación entre la oferta y la demanda energética, así como su vínculo con el crecimiento económico. Mediante un enfoque de modelado basado en la dinámica de sistemas, se desarrollaron tres escenarios: un escenario tendencial (BAU), un escenario optimista con políticas nacionales (ESCN1) y un escenario alineado con las tendencias globales (ESCN2). El modelo fue calibrado y validado con datos históricos del período 2000-2015 y se aplicó para simular el comportamiento a largo plazo de las emisiones de CO2 derivadas del consumo final de energía en seis sectores económicos clave. Los resultados muestran que, bajo los escenarios BAU y ESCN1, se proyecta un aumento significativo de la demanda energética y de las emisiones de CO2, debido a la persistente dependencia de los combustibles fósiles. En contraste, el escenario ESCN2, alineado con políticas internacionales de sostenibilidad, sugiere una posible reducción de emisiones hacia 2050 mediante una matriz energética diversificada y mejoras en eficiencia energética.
