Abstract

Este documento amplía la argumentación efectuada por Benavides, Cabrales y Delgado (2022), artículo que argumentó la importancia del gas natural y cuantificó los costos de desmontar el gas natural y el carbón de la generación eléctrica en Colombia entre 2023 y 2035. En esta ocasión se presentan cifras de orden de magnitud sobre densidad energética y los altos costos de la electricidad producida con fuentes no convencionales y baterías, para reforzar la necesidad de una transición a una velocidad que no lesione la economía del país; y se amplía el universo de cálculo de costos directos asociados a las restricciones en oferta de gas, incluyendo los principales sectores de consumo como el residencial, la generación térmica a gas y la industria (por fuera de coquería y refinación). La cuantificación utiliza la mejor información disponible en fuentes públicas.***** Abstract This document expands the argument made by Benavides, Cabrales and Delgado (2022), an article that argued the importance of natural gas and quantified the costs of removing natural gas and coal from electricity generation in Colombia between 2023 and 2035. It introduces figures on energy density and the high costs of electricity produced with non-conventional sources of energy and batteries are presented, to reinforce the need for a transition at a speed that does not harm the country's economy. In addition, it presents the direct costs associated with gas supply restrictions, including the main consumer sectors such as residential, gas-fired thermal generation and industry (apart from coking and refining). Quantification uses the best information available from public sources.
