Overview of Potential Use of Hydroxyl and Hydrogen as an Alternative Fuel in Colombia

Abstract

In the Paris agreement about climate change, it was established that greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by 0% in order to avoid irreversible damage, so the world economy based on fossil fuels must undergo a transformation towards an economy clean, safe and sustainable. As a result, it has been established that the only alternative that guarantees 0% emissions of polluting gases is the economy of hydrogen. Countries such as the Netherlands, the United States, and the European Union have projected policy towards 2050 that expects to meet the objectives set out in the Paris agreement. In this document shows the different alternative fuels that are currently being proposed to mitigate polluting emissions, as well as the overview of these fuels in Colombia, and how, from the different renewable energy sources that this country has, could venture economically and politically towards economy based on the use of hydroxy and hydrogen as a raw material and energy source, showing its possible applications. The foregoing will allow to identify the potential of application of these fuels in the energy matrix of Colombia and define policies to accelerate their implementation.

Toward the Paris Agreement Implementation Impact on Electricity Sector: The Emerging Reality

“…Regarding the articles' keywords, they reflect each one's content, so based on Table 2 there are three keywords with more frequent citations in the articles under analysis. Climate Changes itself stands out, such as (Obregón et al, 2019), but then the keywords that relate to the Paris Agreement's objectives and goals appear, such as combating greenhouse gases to ensure the average global temperature increases by no more than 2ºC or ideally 1.5ºC, by reducing emissions through the increased consumption of renewable energy such is suggested by Forero et al, (2019).…”

“…This is reflected in the climatic changes seen in recent times. In order not to further compromise future generations, it is necessary that the new generations have a more relevant role in relation to decarbonization and energy use (Monyei and Oladeji, 2019) and an effort must be made to find less polluting forms of energy production (Forero et al, 2019), as it is clear that electricity is one of the world's major assets. 1 With the goal of safeguarding the future for coming generations, on October 24 th , 2014 European Union (EU) member states signed the 2030 Climate and Energy Policy Framework.…”

Una revisión del uso del hidrógeno en motores de encendido por compresión (diésel) y un análisis de su posible uso en motores duales en Colombia

“…Además, Colombia tiene gran potencial para entrar en la economía del hidrógeno en el futuro cercano, ya que es una opción viable en el sentido económico y ambiental. Para complementar, Colombia tiene todo lo requerido para la producción, almacenamiento y transporte de hidrógeno [64].…”
