| Sumario: | n this article we will analyze, on the one hand, the political, social and economic context that built the issue of biofuel production as a public matter, which leads the government of the province of Córdoba to present and sanction the Provincial Law No. 10721 of Promotion and Development for the Production and Consumption of Biofuels and Bioenergy (2020). And on the other, the environmental meanings used by the government's discourse about renewable energies and the energy transition. In our country, close to half of the grains planted are destined for agro-industrial plants for oil, milling or biofuel production. The province of Córdoba is the main producer of corn-based bioethanol in Argentina, with three large companies: Promaiz SA (Alejandro Roca), ACABIO (Villa María) and Bioetanol Río Cuarto S.A.- Bio4 (Río Cuarto). After the approval of Provincial Law No. 10721, various programs were implemented with the purpose of continuing to encourage this production and enhance biodiesel production. To carry out this research, we deployed various qualitative and quantitative methodological strategies such as documentary and bibliographic review, selection of journalistic news and institutional communication portals, analysis of data on the production of biofuels available on the page of the Secretariat of Energy of the Nation and discourse analysis. The results we have reached show us an active role of the provincial government in promoting and sanctioning this "State policy", discursively aligning itself with international discourses on climate change and energy transition. |
