Solar energy

Argentina has one of the highest solar potentials on the planet, and if we take action, it can be used for more than just tanning. This report delves into the country's capacity to scale up this renewable source, analyzes its regulatory framework, opportunities for local industrial development, and the key role of distributed generation. It also highlights how solar energy can improve access in low-income neighborhoods and rural communities, proposing a more just and inclusive energy transition.

Vaca muerta

Vaca Muerta has established itself as one of the world's most important unconventional hydrocarbon deposits. This report traces its history, the impact of the YPF-Chevron agreement, and its role in the Argentine economy. It explains how this reservoir transformed the national energy map and analyzes its strategic potential in the regional energy transition, focusing on gas as a bridge resource towards decarbonization.

Bioenergy

From waste and residues to clean energy. Bioenergy can contribute to a cleaner and more decentralized energy matrix. This report explains what it is, where we stand in Argentina, and how it could be scaled up without jeopardizing the environment or food security. Because sometimes, energy also comes from the countryside.

Malvinas and Energy

What do the Malvinas Islands have to do with the energy transition? This report delves into a little-explored topic: energy interests in the South Atlantic, the role of sovereignty, and the challenges involved in thinking about geopolitics in green terms. A read that combines history, foreign policy, and climate.

Federalism

Who decides on energy resources? This report discusses the tensions between the national government and the provinces over lithium, hydrocarbons, and mining. It proposes ways to achieve federal coordination that guarantees territorial justice and harnesses the energy potential of the entire country.

Investigation and development (I+D)

Without science, there can be no transition. This report shows why investing in R&D is essential for developing our own technology, creating jobs, and reducing our dependence on the Global North. It also analyzes the current situation in Argentina, what needs to change, and what role universities, CONICET, and the private sector can play.

YPF

Much more than oil. This report covers the history, present, and future of YPF, the country's most important energy company, and its key role in a sovereign energy transition. Can a state-owned company lead innovation toward a green future? This document helps you think about it with information and regional perspective.

Green hydrogen

Hydrogen promises to decarbonize sectors where other technologies fall short. This report clearly explains what it is, how it is produced, which countries are developing it, and what opportunities Argentina has. It also highlights the risks of making empty promises without a clear national strategy.

Lithium

Lithium is not just “the new oil”: it is a geopolitical, productive, and environmental opportunity. This report explains how much lithium there is, why it is key to the energy transition, and how Argentina can take advantage of it without repeating the mistakes of classic extractivism. A strategic resource in dispute that needs more policy and less marketing.

Wind energy

Argentina has the wind in its sails. This report explores the potential of wind energy as an engine for development, the role of public companies such as IMPSA and INVAP, and the challenges facing the sector as it seeks to consolidate its position. How can we harness the southern winds to drive forward a just transition?

Nuclear energy

How does a nuclear power plant work? Why does Argentina play a unique role in this field? This report demystifies a complex topic, covering everything from the origins of nuclear energy to current challenges, with a focus on Argentina. It invites readers to think beyond the myths and understand how this source can (or cannot) be integrated into a sustainable energy matrix.

Green jobs: how to turn the energy transition into job opportunities

The energy transition can be a major source of job creation, but not just any type of job. This report presents the strategic sectors with the greatest potential for creating quality jobs in Argentina (such as wind and nuclear power) and analyzes what policies we need to ensure that new jobs are sustainable, well-paid, and socially just. A key guide for thinking about a green transition that is also a job opportunity.
