Eficiencia en la gestión del sector minero-energético en Latinoamérica: revisión sistemática
Palabras clave:
energía, minería, gestión, gobernanza, socioambientales
Resumen
La eficiencia energética es estratégica para la competitividad y sostenibilidad del sector minero-energético latinoamericano, pero la evidencia disponible está fragmentada y falta una lectura regional integrada. Este artículo tuvo como objetivo analizar patrones regionales, estrategias predominantes y brechas comunes en la incorporación de la eficiencia energética en la gestión del sector minero-energético latinoamericano (2010-2025), proponiendo un marco analítico a partir de una revisión sistemática (Tranfield et al., 2003; Kitchenham & Charters, 2007), utilizando el protocolo PRISMA y la base de datos Scopus. Tras filtros temáticos, temporales, documentales y de enfoque regional-sectorial, se cribaron 1.227 registros iniciales, obteniendo 46 estudios, gestionados con Mendeley y Excel, y sometidos posteriormente a análisis narrativo estructurado. Los resultados indican que varios países avanzan mediante proyectos piloto y que Brasil, Chile y Colombia concentran las experiencias en mejora de procesos, integración de renovables, cogeneración y sistemas de gestión. Se observa un tránsito hacia enfoques que combinan innovación tecnológica, digitalización y criterios ambientales, sociales y de gobernanza. Los hallazgos revelan patrones comunes y brechas persistentes, evidenciando una transición desigual, pero en proceso de consolidación hacia modelos energéticos más eficientes.
