Abstract

The capitalist system is characterized by the use of fossil energies and nature at the speed of capital. Currently, the debate on the energy issue and the need to use renewable energies is necessary. In the peripheral world, the energy debate is becoming critical. The process of adopting alternative energies is advancing gradually in Brazil and also in Colombia. This chapter aims to study the tensions and contradictions of the Brazilian and Colombian energy transition models. Discussing the relationships between Economic Geography, energy change, and sustainable development; reflecting its territorial impacts; matters of social injustices arising from changes in the energy matrices in Brazil and Colombia will also come into the purview of the present discussion.
