Abstract
espanolEl cambio del paradigma energetico a fuentes con menor huella de carbono, asi como el desarrollo de las tecnologias y tecnicas para su extraccion, han colocado al gas de lutita en el punto de mira como recurso menos contaminante, abundante en el norte de Espana, y capaz de suplir en gran medida las necesidades actuales de abastecimiento energetico que requiere el pais. Sin embargo, existe una importante carencia de informacion integrada sobre el tema, con respecto a lo geologico, lo economico, lo ambiental y lo social. Como consecuencia de todo ello, se ha desarrollado una fuerte oposicion publica que ha paralizado la exploracion y la posible explotacion de dicho recurso. Los cambios que exige el futuro en la busqueda de fuentes de energia menos contaminantes y la necesidad de adquirir una posicion estrategica en el sector energetico, hacen ineludible permitir la investigacion y exploracion de este recurso en Espana. Por ello, este trabajo pretende mostrar el panorama actual que rodea al gas natural en un contexto de “transito” a energias menos agresivas con el medio ambiente, como se realiza su extraccion (gas de lutita) y, como deberia llevarse a cabo en Espana con los problemas que ello conllevaria, asi como analizar la respuesta y preocupacion de la ciudadania frente a el desarrollo de esta tecnologia. EnglishThe change to an energy model with lower carbon footprint sources, and the development of the corresponding technologies and extraction techniques has placed shale gas in the spotlight as it is a less polluting resource and it is abundant in the north of Spain. This energy model could be able to supply, to a large extent, the current energy needs of the country. However, there is a relevant lack of information on the subject regarding geological, economic, environmental and social issues. Consequently, a strong public opposition has developed, that has so far paralyzed the exploration and potential exploitation of these resources. The future changes required in the search for less polluting energy sources and the need to acquire a strategic position in the energy sector make it essential to allow both research into this resource and its exploration in Spain. Therefore, this study aims to show the current situation of natural gas in a “transitory” context towards less aggressive energies to the environment as well as to explain how shale gas is produced and how extraction should be carried out in Spain with the problems that this would entail. The study also aims to analyze the citizens’ responses and concerns regarding the development of this technology.
