Análisis del sector transporte terrestre de Guayaquil, uso de energías alternativas y su incidencia en el desarrollo sostenible al 2021.

Abstract

objective of this research work is to analyze the situation of the Guayaquil land transport sector in terms of energy use and its impact on sustainable development by 2021. The theoretical framework is developed making theories of the transport sector, the main differences between sustainable conventional energies and alternatives applied in transport, and the effect of the types of energies on development. The main public policies in relation to the land transport sector to promote sustainable development are also mentioned. The applied method is deductive and quantitative. The type of research is descriptive and correlational. An estimation model of CO2e emissions proposed by the IPCC was applied with which the number of tCO2e in the environment resulting from the combustion of conventional energies by type of energy used will be prolonged. Also, this same methodology was applied for a simulation of energy substitution by alternative energies in the land transport sector of Guayaquil and, finally, a comparison of the costs for consumption that could be generated by energy replacement. As a main conclusion, it is determined that the consumption of conventional energies in the land transport sector of Guayaquil has a negative impact on sustainable development since the increase in emissions of polluting gases affects the environment and, as a consequence, has generated cases of morbidity due to atmospheric pollution.
