  • What is the global cottonseed production in 2019/2020?
  • The global cottonseed production in 2019/2020 is estimated to be ~44.84 metric million tons (MMT) (Statista, 2020 accessed on July 25, 2020). Cottonseeds contain 17¨C22% oil, and after oil extraction, cottonseed meal (CSM) is obtained as a coproduct (Hernandez, 2016, pp. 242¨C246) (Fig. 2).
  • What is the energy mix in Argentina?
  • Argentina has an energy mix 4 made up mostly of natural gas, followed by crude oil. This matrix has a significantly small share of coal, and in the past years, renewable energies such as solar and wind have seen their share in the energy mix grow steadily.
  • Who owns Argentina's oil & gas market?
  • Argentina's oil & gas market is majority-owned by the integrated energy company YPF, which has been involved in E&P operations since 1922. YPF is the country¡¯s largest oil and gas producer and owns more than half of Argentina¡¯s refineries.
  • How can Argentine energy contribute to a net zero economy?
  • Its gas, solar, wind, hydrogen and lithium resources can be exported to contribute with the net zero economy. This chapter studies the past, present and future of the Argentine energy mix and energy policy, with a focus on the opportunities and challenges that Argentina will face during the following decades.
  • Could Argentina contribute to the energy transition?
  • In the light of the foregoing, Argentina could significantly contribute to the energy transition by being a global supplier of natural gas. Argentina has one of the biggest natural gas reserves in the world.
  • Is natural gas a viable alternative energy source in Argentina?
  • Despite this ambitious goal, energy demands ought to be met by actual resources while providing a window for the scaling-up of alternative energy resources. Under these conditions, natural gas is the best fit and Argentina has vast resources of it.
