Abstract

El paradigma energético vigente es tema de amplio debate por el cambio climático y los incrementos de precios del combustible fósil. El nuevo entramado es impulsadoprincipalmente por Estados Unidos y Brasil por su ventaja tecnológica en la producción de biocombustibles. En México bajo la Ley de Promoción de los Bioenergéticos se implementan políticas para impulsar alternativas sustentables, concordandoasí con el Protocolo de Kyoto. En ambos casos la estrategia es cuestionable, pues las ventajas de una tecnología verde, sin las políticas adecuadas en la expansión de producción de bioenergía con base en el cambio de uso del suelo agrícola o la incorporación de nuevas tierras para este fin, ocasionarían problemas alimentarios y de destrucción del hábitat, así como incremento de precios en los insumos utilizados.
