The purpose of this work is related to the overall assessment of the energy resources of Venezuela and its global strategic positioning, mainly concerned with the production and consumption of primary energy and reserves. Likewise, we have evaluated the renewable energy resources in order to identify opportunities for sustainable energy development. The results indicate that Venezuela has fossil resources for more than 130 years of exploitation, making it an important energy power in the global context. The exploitable potential of renewable energy resources doubled the fossil fuel production in 2011. The current use of these sources is less than 2 % of the total renewable energy available, which leaves open a wide range of possibilities for diversification of the national energy mix through clean or sustainable energyDownloads
