This article presents an overview of world and Colombian energy sources, including distribution, production and consumption by fuel and end-user sectors, respectively, as well as a brief description of some non-conventional energy sources (NCES), pointing out those classified as bioenergy and used as non-conventional fuels in the transport and electricity generating sectors. Colombian policies for promoting the rational use of energy (RUE) and NCES are presented and their targets are compared to some established by the European Union and the USA.
Este artículo presenta un panorama mundial y nacional de las fuentes de energía y la distribución de su uso por tipo de combustible y los sectores a los que se destina. Describe algunas fuentes no convencionales de energía, haciendo énfasis en algunas cifras de aquellas que se clasifican como bioenergía y que se utilizan en mayor porcentaje en el transporte y en la generación de energía eléctrica. Introduce las políticas colombianas para el fomento del uso racional de la energía (URE) y las fuentes de energía no convencionales (FENC) y compara las metas colombianas con las que plantean la Comunidad Económica Europea y Estados Unidos.
