Could Argentina contribute to the energy transition?

In the light of the foregoing, Argentina could significantly contribute to the energy transition by being a global supplier of natural gas. Argentina has one of the biggest natural gas reserves in the world.

What is Argentina's approach to renewables?

Argentina’s approach to renewables involves a mix of choices intended to apply simultaneously to different sectors and industries. Traditionally, biomass and hydroelectric energy developments have been a major part of the renewable share in Argentina.

How can Argentine energy contribute to a net zero economy?

Its gas, solar, wind, hydrogen and lithium resources can be exported to contribute with the net zero economy. This chapter studies the past, present and future of the Argentine energy mix and energy policy, with a focus on the opportunities and challenges that Argentina will face during the following decades.

Why is Argentina a good place to invest in solar energy?

Firstly, Argentina has abundant solar and wind resources: constant sun in north-western areas and constant wind in Patagonia. 16 This presents a unique opportunity to develop both wind and solar farms that can provide abundant clean energy to the power grid.

Does Argentina have a potential for alternative energy resources?

On the other hand, technological breakthroughs relating to hydrogen and lithium have enhanced Argentina’s potential over alternative energy resources. The conditions in Patagonia and the northwest of the country enable scaling-up at a competitive cost since abundant wind and solar power are available to produce green hydrogen.

Why should we invest in battery production in Argentina?

Argentina has ample battery R&D, a settled and resilient auto industry and a growing interest in alternative means of transport. The assessment of these factors can provide valuable insights into how value can be properly added to lithium feedstock and be converted into batteries and other manufactures.
