Energy Demand Analysis and Policy Instruments Assessment for Mining Industry in Chile
Abstract
The northern Chile has the best worldwide solar energy potential in order to produce energy. Chile can consider this huge potential and meet the demand of energy-intensive industry sector, especially mining. This paper targets to compare two different scenarios: Business as Usual (BAU) and Alternative Policy Scenario (APS) of solar energy technologies for industry sectors in Chile. With this analysis, it is aimed to present if Chile consider significant solar energy in industry sector, how it will help to meet international and national energy and environment targets.
