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 explains the country's capacity to scale up this renewable source, analyzes industrial opportunities and access in low-income neighborhoods, and proposes a just transition.

Vaca muerta

Vaca Muerta has established itself as one of the world's most important unconventional hydrocarbon deposits. This report explains its history, the YPF-Chevron agreement, and its role in the economy, analyzing how it transformed the energy map and gas as a bridge resource toward 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 addresses a little-explored topic: energy interests in the South Atlantic, the role of sovereignty, and the challenges of 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 explains the challenges of federal coordination and proposes ways to guarantee territorial justice and harness 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 key to developing proprietary technology, generating employment, and reducing dependence on the Global North. It analyzes the situation in Argentina and the role of universities, CONICET, and the private sector.

YPF

Much more than oil. This report covers the history, present, and future of YPF and its key role in a sovereign energy transition. It analyzes whether a state-owned company can lead innovation toward a green future, offering information and regional perspective.

Green hydrogen

Hydrogen promises to decarbonize sectors where other technologies fall short. This report explains what it is, how it is produced, which countries are developing it, and what opportunities Argentina has. It also warns of the risks of 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 extractivism. More policy and less marketing are needed.

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 ensure that the southern wind blows strongly in favor of a just transition?

Nuclear energy

How does a nuclear power plant work? Why does Argentina play a unique role in this field? This report breaks down a complex topic, from the origins of nuclear energy to current challenges, focusing on Argentina and its integration into a sustainable energy matrix.

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

The energy transition can generate employment, but not just any kind. This report presents the strategic sectors with the greatest potential in Argentina, such as wind and nuclear power, and analyzes what policies are needed to ensure sustainable, well-paid, and socially just jobs.
