Energy balance of Colombian industry based on subsector level data

This project aims to develop a detailed energy balance for the Colombian industrial sector, considering different parameters
such as subsector type, size, production capacity, and aggregated value. The outcomes of this project will serve as a valuable
tool for proposing energy efficiency and low-carbon transition initiatives within this significant sector of the Colombian
economy. The project will be conducted in two phases. In the first phase, energy consumption for each subsector and
energy source will be identified. The second phase will involve characterizing these energy consumptions according to
subsector size, capacity, and aggregated value, yielding insightful indicators related to energy use and efficiency. The results
will then be mapped or grouped to establish potential pathways for energy efficiency and transition. By providing valuable
information, this project has the potential to contribute significantly to the development of a more sustainable and
competitive Colombian industrial sector. Policymakers and stakeholders will benefit from the project's findings, facilitating
the formulation of efficient and low-carbon energy strategies and decision-making processes.

Establish an energy balance of the Colombian industrial sector, adjusted to parameters of size, capacity or value added of the different
types of establishments in each sub-sector, through data analysis, including statistical, regression and clustering analyses, to identify
and formulate practical indicators that will help in the planning of energy transition strategies within this economic sector.

1Generation of the database and characteristics of energy consumption and facilities in the Colombian industrial subsectors through statistical, regression and clustering analyses.
2. Analyze the data to identify trends in energy consumption related to size, production and value added in the Colombian industrial sub-sectors.
3. Development of energy balance and energy use indicators for the Colombian industrial sub-sectors, allowing the identification of possible decarbonization paths in the energy transition.

How to determine the energy consumption of the different subsectors in the industrial sector in Colombia, based on available general energy data and size and capacity parameters of establishments, in order to establish indicators related to their economic outputs?
