Energy, 2012, vol. 40, issue 1, 39-46

Abstract: This paper presents an overview of energy production and consumption for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The study places special emphasis on CO2 emissions related to energy use and production and on the lack of modern energy services for millions in the region. Although the contribution of LAC to worldwide energy-related CO2 emissions is low, it is important to the understand energy trends in LAC and to visualize the opportunities for a low-carbon future for the region while meeting the energy needs for poverty reduction.
