Proyectos de producci贸n de biog谩s en la Regi贸n Pampeana y su contribuci贸n a los desaf铆os energ茅ticos del Siglo XXI
In the 21st century, global society confronts energy challenges related to the availability of resources, environmental impacts resulting from the use of fossil fuels and inequity in access to energy. A new energy transition is suggested focused on, changes in the use and supply of energy, in the development and implementation of renewable sources, including environmental, political, economic and cultural aspects. Argentina is no stranger to this global energy scenario. In recent years, policies and strategies have been implemented to promote renewable energies, democratize their use and improve access to them. In this context, rural spaces are re-visualized and appropriated as energy producers. In particular, the spaces where livestock activities are developed have the potential for renewable generation from animal waste, also contributing to their proper management. The objective of this work is to explore the global and national energy challenges to determine the contributions of biogas production projects in the Pampas Region, identifying factors, obstacles and challenges. For this purpose, mainly secondary information was used, resorting to different sources. Sixteen projects for the production of biogas from cattle waste were identified in the Pampas region, most of them are feedlot. Argentina has the potential for the implementation of this technology, which would contribute to the reduction of Greenhouse Gasemissions, renewable energy generation and circular economy, among other issues. The main barriers to the development of this type of projects are economic, so the implementation and continuity of programs that guarantee the purchase of renewable energy and financing are essential.La sociedad global enfrenta desaf铆os energ茅ticos por la escasez de recursos, los impactos ambientales asociados y la inequidad en el acceso. Se plantea una nueva transici贸n energ茅tica centrada en cambios en el uso y provisi贸n, en el desarrollo e implementaci贸n de fuentes renovables, abarcando aspectos ambientales, pol铆ticos, econ贸micos y culturales. En Argentina se ejecutaron pol铆ticas y estrategias para la promoci贸n de las energ铆as renovables, la democratizaci贸n de su uso y la mejora en el acceso. En este contexto, los espacios rurales son re-visualizados y apropiados como territorios productores de energ铆a; los espacios donde se desarrollan actividades ganaderas presentan potencial de generaci贸n a partir de los residuos pecuarios. El objetivo del trabajo es explorar los desaf铆os energ茅ticos a nivel global y nacional para determinar los aportes de proyectos de producci贸n de biog谩s en la Regi贸n Pampeana, identificando factores, obst谩culos y desaf铆os. Se emple贸 principalmente informaci贸n secundaria, recurriendo a diversas fuentes. Se identificaron 16 proyectos de producci贸n de biog谩s a partir de residuos pecuarios bovinos en la Regi贸n Pampeana. Argentina presenta potencial para la implementaci贸n de esta tecnolog铆a, la cual brinda numerosas oportunidades. Las principales barreras para el desarrollo son econ贸micas; la implementaci贸n y continuidad de programas y financiamiento son fundamentales
