description |
Within the framework of a systemic and socio-ecological crisis that singles out the current stage of capitalism, the energy transition processes have acquired a place of hierarchy in the public agendas of various countries. Although with different speeds and characteristics, state, business, scientific and social actors are facing actions, research, programs, public and private projects to replace the use of fossil energy sources with renewable ones. The emission of greenhouse gases comes mainly from the combustion of oil, gas and coal, and therefore the process of decarbonization and defossilization is a goal of unavoidable relevance to slow down global warming. Within the energy alternatives that are promoted to carry out this process, the production of Green Hydrogen has been generating favorable expectations, not only to supply the internal consumption of non-polluting energy, but also as an export merchandise. In this article, dimensions related to the production of this energy vector are systematized, problematizing a series of controversies related to its impulse. As several megaprojects are still in a planning phase in various geographies, issues in the discussion stage and information provision are replaced in an analytical and descriptive way with reference to the questions, warnings and potentialities of this class of hydrogen with respect to the resources that are used, the development and transition model that their expansion implies, their possible territorial, ecological and environmental effects. The methodology used is qualitatively oriented, and the privileged sources of information are of a secondary nature (technical reports, testimonies from various social, scientific, economic actors, expressed in the media, bibliography). |

The methodology used is qualitatively oriented, and the privileged sources of information are of a secondary nature (technical reports, testimonies from various social, scientific, economic actors, expressed in the media, bibliography). En el marco de una crisis sistémica y socio ecológica que singulariza la etapa actual del capitalismo, los procesos de transición energética han adquirido un lugar de jerarquía en las agendas públicas de diversos países. Si bien con distinta velocidad y características, los actores estatales, empresarios, científicos y sociales se encuentran afrontando acciones, investigaciones, programas, proyectos públicos y privados para reemplazar el uso de fuentes de energía de origen fósil por renovables. La emisión de gases de efecto invernadero proceden mayormente de la combustión del petróleo, el gas y el carbón, y por tanto el proceso de descarbonización y des fosilización resulta una meta de insoslayable relevancia para desacelerar el calentamiento global. Dentro de las alternativas energéticas que se promueven para llevar adelante este proceso, la producción de Hidrógeno Verde ha ido generando expectativas favorables no tan solo para abastecer el consumo interno de energía no contaminante sino además, como mercancía de exportación. En este artículo se sistematizan dimensiones vinculadas a la producción de este vector energético, problematizando una serie de controversias relacionadas con su impulso. Como varios megaproyectos se encuentran aún en una fase de planificación en distintas geografías, se reponen de modo analítico y descriptivo cuestiones en etapa de discusión y disposición de información con referencia a los interrogantes, advertencias y potencialidades de esta clase de hidrógeno con respecto de los recursos que se utilizan, el modelo de desarrollo y de transición que implica su expansión, sus posibles efectos territoriales, ecológicos y ambientales. La metodología utilizada es de orientación cualitativa, y las fuentes de información privilegiadas son de carácter secundario (informes técnicos, testimonios de diversos actores sociales, científicos, económicos, expresados en medios de difusión, bibliografía).
