Presentation of “Towards a sustainable energy transition in Argentina: exploring futures for hydrocarbons and green commodities”

The PhD Student of Fundación Bariloche, Aliosha Behnisch, participated in the 17th Annual Meeting of the Integrated Assessment Modelling Consortium (IAMC) held in Seoul, South Korea, from November 4th to 6th, presenting “Towards a Sustainable Energy Transition in Argentina: Exploring Futures for Hydrocarbons and Green Commodities”. The presentation, based on work developed during the DDP IMAGINE project, highlighted the challenges and opportunities of transitioning Argentina’s energy system towards sustainability, emphasizing the role of hydrocarbons and the potential for green commodities in the country’s transition and development strategies. Coupling energy and economy models, the research explored pathways to balance energy demands, economic development, and environmental goals, providing insights into policy options for achieving a just and sustainable transition in Argentina. This contribution underscores Fundación Bariloche’s commitment to advancing knowledge and dialogue on sustainable energy solutions in developing countries.
