Just Energy Transition Roadmap

The Roadmap for a Just Energy Transition (TEJ in Spanish) provides guidelines for Colombia's transition from an energy matrix based mainly on fossil fuels to one supported mainly by renewable energies, taking into account conditions of binding participation, recognition of multiple knowledge, energy democratisation, and prevention and mitigation of social and environmental damage.The Roadmap firstly presents a full diagnosis of the Fair Energy Transition in Colombia. This diagnosis report is structured into six chapters, covering global energy transition trends, Colombia's current energy system, challenges of its fossil fuel-dependent economy, and the legal framework for the transition. It concludes with key challenges for the transition roadmap, informed by territorial and business dialogues conducted by the Ministry of Mines and Energy across the country. The roadmap is also supported by a bundle of analytical and scenario-based documents: 1 - A central component of this Roadmap consists of the construction of scenarios that incorporate the different Just Energy Transition proposals put forward by the National Government and try to explore potential possible futures in order to make decisions. It presents scenarios of the future development of the different economic sectors, making assumptions about the mechanisms and speeds of implementation of various public policies aimed at reducing GHG emissions, reducing fossil fuel consumption, reindustrialisation, the use of non-conventional renewable energy sources 2- Another document - the Sub-national energy potential and opportunities for decarbonisation in final energy use - aims to identify the production potential of Non-Conventional Renewable Energy Sources (NCRE), (wind, solar, bioenergy, geothermal, hydroelectricity and green hydrogen) and look at the available decarbonisation alternatives.3- The third document named 'Challenge and Opportunities' tries to consider main challenges and develop strategies that favour the implementation of the energy transition with a social, environmental, energy and climate justice perspective 4- The investments assessment presents the costs for the different energy scenarios projected for both energy supply and demand.
