Abstract

Energy crisis is a reality that is being faced all around the world, resulting in social, economic and environmental impacts, which in many cases are difficult to quantify and assess objectively. Still most of the vehicles and machinery depend on fossil fuel, without being the agricultural sector the exception. On the other hand, technology and innovation, particularly that developed during the last decade, have made viable energy alternatives available to people, including for use in agricultural production. The present work is a review, which focuses on renewable energies, such as photovoltaic solar, wind energy, biogas and hydrogen; that can contribute to the efficient development of the agricultural sector in Panama, with potential economic benefits, reducing the risk of environmental contamination and also serving as means of integration and social responsibility. Specialized literature on the subject was consulted, in addition to sharing the scope of the authors themselves. It is expected that this work will serve as a guiding element, towards the sustainability and agroindustrial development.
