Book Description
Beginning from the premise that Mexico's economic strength will depend largely on its ability to produce, manage, and export energy, energy experts in this book analyze energy planning in Mexico in the 1970s and possible strategies for the future. They focus on the potential for diversifying the country's energy economy--now based almost exclusively on oil--by examining alternative sources, particularly natural gas, coal, and geothermal and solar resources. The extent to which Mexico's energy base is diversified, they assert, will determine the country's ability both to meet internal energy needs and to prolong its export of oil and gas. find, diversification will not only increase Mexico's economic strength, but will also expand the global supply of energy resources and have profound impact on the United States, Mexico's major trading partner.

Book Description
Abstract The Mexican energy reform of December 2013 ended a long history of state-owned energy monopolies in the country, laying the grounds for direct private participation in an attempt to modernize this sector. Favorable political circumstances coupled with the negative effects of stagnation eased the way of the constitutional reform presented by the President, Enrique Peña Nieto, to Congress claiming that through this reform, the Mexican economy would grow around 1 percent by 2018 and 2 percent by 2025. The “hype” for oil spurred by the reform, was the subject of numerous media reports, academic forums and literature pieces in which every actor had a different opinion regarding who would be the main beneficiary of the “major” money flows that private investment would draw from oil developments, specially because the price for barrel of oil was around 100 dollars at the time. No one anticipated that by the end of 2014 this price would drop dramatically causing the “muteness” of these debates and shifting the government’s message from one of prosperity to one of austerity. This situation, although probably not permanent, gives us a preview of the inevitable: biophysical strains will increasingly tamper oil revenues as technically accessible fuels are depleted. Mexico needs then to pursue the de-carbonization of its economy in order to prevent a major crisis in this regard. The electricity industry has the potential to become the gateway towards this goal, providing that adequate measures are put in place to spur clean technology development. This not only to satisfy the country’s energy demands while contributing to climate change abatement, but also to create an innovation hub that can allow Mexico to compete in international markets exporting its technology around the globe. Mexico has a great capacity to satisfy its energy requirements through the deployment of renewable technologies. In terms of solar energy, 70% of its territory has Global Horizontal Irradiation Levels greater than 4.5 Kwh/m2; overall wind, geothermal, and hydropower energy potential has been estimated at 87,000MW, 8,000MW, and 53,000MW respectively; there are vast crop yielding lands available to undertake significant biomass generation efforts; and significant coastlands with considerable wave power that could make marine energy increasingly attractive in the future. Despite these promising levels, Mexico’s electricity matrix is still dominated by fossil fuels. Around 70% of the generation for public service provision is sourced through a combination of fuel oil, diesel, and natural gas, and although it is true that there have been policy efforts in the past aimed at spurring renewable energy deployment, they have mostly fallen to be “catalogues of good intentions” given that they lacked the stringency required to send the adequate price signals to promote an energy transition, as evidenced by the current electricity matrix itself. Hence, if energy transitional goals are to be pursued in order to access the benefits thereof, policy efforts that address both: technological research and development, and incentives to arouse the market, have to be developed. Task, which shall not be conducted “blindly”, but rather guided by best practices, derived from successful policy implementation examples across the world, keeping in mind the legal, economic and political viability of these policy alternatives within the Country. As such, this dissertation will provide an analysis of the framework that governed the Mexican electricity system previous to the reform, how this system is planned to work after, and the measures that this author believes Mexico should implement in order to advance in its path towards decarbonizing its finances while promoting economic growth, full electrification and climate change abatement, through an energy transition. This in light of internationally identified best practices, and taking into account feasibility considerations of the different policies available to achieve this goal within the Country.

Book Description
Mexico needs to diversify its energy portfolio, reduce environmental impacts and promote sustainable sources of energy as well as meet its commitments under the Kyoto protocol that call for expanding renewable energy generation. The structural deficiencies of Mexico's energy sector are overwhelming and deny any sustainability to current emphasis and practices. These are very significant changes which, combined with favorable environmental conditions, create significant opportunity for short-term renewable energy projects to be developed in Mexico.

Book Description
In comparing the degree of efficiency in energy production and the uses to which energy resources are allocated in Mexico with those in other countries, this book addresses three basic questions: What are the major reasons for differences in energy efficiency between industrial economies and a newly industrializing country like Mexico? To what extent is energy conservation possible in the Mexican economy? And what are the social and economic benefits of more efficient use and conservation of energy in comparison with their costs? Using the history and operations of two state-owned energy agencies, PEMEX and the Federal Electricity Comission, as case studies, the authors explore the patterns of energy use in all major sectors of the economy and discuss the prospects for energy-saving policies between the mid-1980s and the end of the century.

Book Description
We present evidence on one facet of energy security in OECD economies - the extent of diversification in sources of oil and natural gas supplies. Viewed from the perspective of the energy-importing countries as a whole, there has not been much change in diversification in oil supplies over the last decade, but diversification in sources of natural gas supplies has increased steadily. We document the cross-country heterogeneity in the extent of diversification. We also show how the extent of diversification changes if account is taken of the political risk attached to suppliers; the size of the importing country; and transportation risk.

Book Description
This paper assesses the real effects of the energy reform in Mexico by looking at its impact on manufacturing output through changes in energy prices. Using sub-sector and state-level manufacturing output data, along with past variation in energy prices, we find electricity prices––relative to oil and gas––to be more important in the manufacturing process, with a one standard deviation reduction in electricity prices leading to a 2.8 percent increase in manufacturing output. Our estimated elasticities together with plausible reductions in electricity tariffs derived from the energy reform, could increase manufacturing output by up to 3.6 percent, and overall real GDP by 0.6 percent. Larger reductions are possible over the long run if increased efficiency in the sector leads electricity prices to converge to U.S. levels. Moreover, including the impact of lower electricity tariffs on the services sector, could lead to significantly larger effects on GDP. Accounting for endogeneity of unit labor costs in a panel VAR setting leads to an additional indirect channel which amplifies the impact of electricity prices on output.

Book Description
This Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report (IPCC-SRREN) assesses the potential role of renewable energy in the mitigation of climate change. It covers the six most important renewable energy sources - bioenergy, solar, geothermal, hydropower, ocean and wind energy - as well as their integration into present and future energy systems. It considers the environmental and social consequences associated with the deployment of these technologies, and presents strategies to overcome technical as well as non-technical obstacles to their application and diffusion. SRREN brings a broad spectrum of technology-specific experts together with scientists studying energy systems as a whole. Prepared following strict IPCC procedures, it presents an impartial assessment of the current state of knowledge: it is policy relevant but not policy prescriptive. SRREN is an invaluable assessment of the potential role of renewable energy for the mitigation of climate change for policymakers, the private sector, and academic researchers.
