Modelling of the Bolivian energy sector to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, within the framework of the Energy Transition in Bolivia

The 2018 IPCC special report on global warming indicates that by 2050 all CO2emissions on the planet must be neutralized,notto not exceed the 1.5°C global warming. In this context, Bolivia is making efforts in its electric sector, such as increasing the share of renewable energy and decommissioning inefficient power plants. However, these efforts remain limited when compared tothe total national energy demand. Currently, more than 80% of internal energy consumption in Bolivia is of fossil origin.Under these conditions and in the face of the global climate emergency, how should Bolivia respond to the challenge of decarbonizing its energy sector?
