La transición energética debe ser una realidad

The document outlines a strategy for a just energy transition in Barrancabermeja, Colombia, a city where 70% of the economy is linked to the petroleum industry. It identifies key risks, such as employment loss and environmental preservation, and proposes diversifying the local economy through regenerative agriculture, nature tourism, renewable energy (solar and agrivoltaics), and the production of renewable fuels like green diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

• Barrancabermeja is a critical site for Colombia's just energy transition due to its history as the starting point of national oil exploitation and its status as the home of the country's largest refinery, with 70% of its economy tied to the petroleum industry.
• The transition away from fossil fuels in Barrancabermeja presents several challenges, including the need to prevent negative impacts on employment and displacement, managing energy demand, ensuring environmental preservation, and maintaining project continuity across different government administrations.
• Opportunities for economic diversification in the region include regenerative agriculture (specifically cocoa and rubber), nature tourism, solar photovoltaic and agrivoltaic projects, and the production of renewable fuels such as green diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
