Renewable energy sources and their importance for the energy sustainability of Manabí Province, Ecuador
Keywords:
Climatic conditions, Environment, Greenhouse effect, Renewable energyAbstract
Manabí is a province that presents renewable energy resources that can be used to improve the energy matrix. The objective of the research was to analyze the benefits of the different renewable energy sources that exist in the province and their influence on energy sustainability, because when implemented, these allow the sustainability of the electrical system and contribute to the care of the environment. A bibliographic review was applied as a methodology, obtained through scientific articles, books, and websites, which will give relevance to the research topic. It was concluded that implementing power plants based on the use of renewable energy sources that are present in the province would be feasible due to the good climatic conditions due to its location in the coastal region, allowing the use of energy from the sun, water, wind, organic matter, and sanitary landfill; due to the wealth of the province that can enhance local development, thereby reducing the carbon footprint, protecting the environment, and using these energies allows improving the economic and social situation of the inhabitants; Since we would have clean and safe electricity without fear of suffering scheduled disconnections that affect the economic development of the province and the country,,,
