Abstract

Dado que los patrones actuales de consumo y producción de energía están estresando severamente los sistemas naturales y sociales, se requiere no solo una mejora de eficiencia energética sino también una producción de energía ambientalmente sostenible. En este contexto, el uso de biomasa como fuente renovable de generación de energía podría permitir una producción de energía limpia, particularmente en regiones donde existe una ventaja comparativa natural y donde el acceso a otras fuentes de energía es costoso. Este es el caso de Misiones, una provincia de la Argentina, que muestra un alto potencial para la producción de energía a través de la biomasa de su actividad forestal. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es evaluar el beneficio social neto del desarrollo y la inversión en bioenergía a partir de biomasa en esta provincia, desarrollando un modelo insumo-producto regional para Misiones que permite analizar el impacto de distintos escenarios sobre el nivel de empleo y producción provincial. Los resultados muestran grandes efectos tanto en la producción como en la generación de empleo provincial en todos los escenarios, alcanzando los mayores impactos en aquellos escenarios en los cuales se realizan inversiones con componentes locales. Las conclusiones proporcionan algunas recomendaciones de política para impulsar el desarrollo de la biomasa como fuente de generación de energía en Argentina ya que las regulaciones y programas actuales en el sector no están bien orientados.
