En un contexto de aumento de las emisiones de CO2, las naciones industrializadas como China, Estados Unidos o los países europeos apuestan masivamente a desarrollar flotas de vehículos eléctricos para limitar la huella de carbono del sector del transporte. Pero los autos eléctricos no siempre son soluciones ecológicas dicen expertos a RFI. Son silenciosos y emiten poco o nada de CO2. Los autos eléctricos son cada vez más numerosos en las calles de las grandes capitales. Según cifras del Observatorio internacional de las transiciones energéticas, se han vendido 6 millones de vehículos bajas emisiones en 2021 en el mundo (incluyendo coches eléctricos, con hidrogeno o híbridos), lo que significa un aumento de 100% con relación al año anterior. China se impone como líder en el sector, seguido por la Unión europea y Estados Unidos que fijaron metas para erradicar poco a poco los motores térmicos. Para reducir sus emisiones de CO2, la Unión europea decidió por ejemplo prohibir la venta de autos con motores con gasolina o diésel de aquí en 2035. La misma decisión ha decretado el Estado de California en EE.UU. Decisiones drásticas que responden a las metas de reducción de las emisiones de CO2 que son la principal causa del calentamiento global por su efecto invernadero. Un auto eléctrico, sin embargo, aunque no emita dióxido de carbono, no siempre puede recibir el calificativo de ‘verde', de ‘ecológico' o de ‘limpio' como lo pretenden los constructores como parte de una estrategia de márketing. La Agencia para la transición ecológica francesa ADEME determinó que solo los coches con motores eléctricos de pequeño tamaño emiten menos CO2 que los vehículos convencionales. Y es que la fabricación de las baterías, desde la extracción de minerales hasta los procesos industriales, genera emisiones de CO2. Así que para que un auto sea considerado como ecológico, debe cumplir con varios criterios. “Sabemos muy bien que la explotación del coche eléctrico, ya una vez fabricado, deja de emitir CO2 si la energía con la que la recargamos proviene de fuentes totalmente ecológicas renovables”, recuerda Oscar Pulido, experto en electrificación de flotas para la ONG ambientalista Federación europea de transporte y medio ambiente. Pulido concede que “a día de hoy, no hay ningún producto que sea plenamente libre de CO2 en cuanto a fabricación. Entonces, no podríamos decir que el coche eléctrico produce 0% de emisiones [de gases de efecto invernadero]. No obstante, si lo comparamos con la de combustión y sus efectos que tienen en el medio ambiente, sigue siendo muchísimo más ecológico”, aclara. Sobre todo, si se toma la huella de carbono del vehículo a largo plazo. Incluso en países como Alemania o Polonia, donde la electricidad proviene en gran parte de la combustión de gas o carbón, andar en vehículo eléctrico recargado con fuentes de energías fósiles, "sigue siendo más limpio que en vehículo con motor de combustión", asegura Pulido.   Eso se debe a “la eficiencia de un motor eléctrico, muy superior a cualquier vehículo de combustión donde perdemos parte de la energía en el proceso térmico”, indica Pulido. “Entonces, el aprovechamiento que tiene, a pesar de provenir, por ejemplo, del gas, podemos poner el ejemplo de Alemania, es mucho más eficiente en un vehículo eléctrico. Lo aprovecharemos mejor”, insiste el especialista. En cambio, Pulido, al igual que otros expertos en transición energética, considera que los coches híbridos que combinan batería eléctrica y motor térmico ya no son una solución ecológica.  “El usuario lo utiliza más que nada con gasolina.” En cuanto a los autos con hidrógeno, “tenemos que entender que para producir el hidrógeno se necesita utilizar una energía”, recuerda Oscar Pulido. “Después ese hidrógeno hay que comprimirlo, hay que hay que transportarlo en ciertas condiciones y el simple hecho de transportarlo también requiere una energía. Y el mantenimiento del hidrógeno en las estaciones de servicio requiere energía. El hidrógeno es una buena solución cuando no se puede obtener directamente la electricidad, digamos, en un barco. Pero resulta un poco raro utilizar el hidrógeno cuando tenemos baterías donde podemos directamente almacenar la electricidad fabricada”, concluye. En América latina, una transición más lenta hacia transportes verdes En este nuevo boom de los autos eléctricos, América latina podría ocupar un lugar determinante en la cadena de producción.  La región tiene las mayores reservas de litio, indispensable para fabricar las baterías. Varios países o ciudades latinoamericanos ya han iniciado lentamente su transición hacia los transportes ecológicos. Chile anunció que el 100% de las ventas de vehículos serán eléctricos en 2035. México fijo una meta más modesta: para 2035 un tercio de los vehículos vendidos serían eléctricos. Y de momento, la transición abarca sobre todo los buses urbanos. “¿Qué pasó en América Latina? Que dimos una gran sorpresa al mundo porque empezaron a venderse buses eléctricos de China”, observa Monica Araya, ex negociadora de asuntos climáticos para el gobierno de Costa Rica. Hoy, es especialista en movilidad sustentable en la campaña para la electrificación de los transportes en la Fundación Climate Works. “En este momento la región tiene alrededor de 3000 buses eléctricos. Sólo en Colombia ya hay como 1800. Y hay 55 tipos de vehículos electrificados en Costa Rica, de 23 marcas que van desde 19.000 hasta 50.000 dólares, que son nuevos, otros de segunda mano, porque el país en el 2018 aprobó la primera ley de movilidad eléctrica en la región. Para que esto funcione [en América latina], tiene que haber una señal de la política pública, como la veo en China, en Europa y ahora, en Estados Unidos”, dice Araya a RFI. En varios países europeos, los gobiernos ofrecen subsidios directos o mediante reducción de impuestos a los ciudadanos que compren un auto particular eléctrico. En Latinoamérica, la transición hacia una movilidad eléctrica es impulsada principalmente por las metrópolis. Ciudad de México, Bogotá o San Paulo ya están renovando sus flotas de autobuses urbanos con la compra de vehículos eléctricos con efectos positivos para la contaminación y las emisiones de carbono. “La Agencia Internacional de la Energía dijo (leer comunicado) que la electrificación con renovables nos está ayudando a detener el crecimiento del carbono del dióxido de carbono alrededor de 1 billón de toneladas de carbono”, apunta Araya. El reto de una cadena de producción sustentable Algunos ecologistas, sin embargo, estiman que la transición hacia las flotas eléctricas será insuficiente para limitar la huella humana en el planeta. “Los autos eléctricos dependen de baterías fabricadas con materiales raros, como litio o coltán. Para extraer estos materiales, se necesita intensificar la minería en áreas naturales del planeta”, subraya Greenpeace México. ‘El transporte no sólo debe de ser eléctrico, sino eléctrico, público y masivo”, indica la ONG. El reto será entonces crear una cadena productiva de baterías sostenible. El barco de exploración Tara volvió a tierra El velero de exploración científica ‘Tara' que navegó por las aguas del Atlántico sur durante dos años y terminó su misión en octubre. A bordo, decenas de científicos trabajaron para estudiar los micro organismos oceánicos y protegerlos. Federico Ibarbalz, biólogo marino argentino del Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET, Argentina) navegó en el velero Tara para recolectar muestras de cocolitofóridos. Unos microorganismos de fitoplanctón que son la base de la cadena alimenticia acuática y regulan la concentración de CO2. En este podcast, explica por qué suscitan el interés de la comunidad científica. Entrevistados: >Mónica Araya, miembro de la campaña global Drive Electric de la Fundación Climate Works >Oscar Pulido, responsable del programa de electrificación de flotas para España.

The end of polluting exhaust pipes is within sight, but it all depends on the actions we take together, says clean transportation expert, Anthony Eggert. Arguably one of the climate movement's biggest success stories, electric vehicles, and the industrial sized batteries that power them, are fast-tracking us to a cleaner, quieter, healthier future. Tune in with co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst live from TED Countdown for this good news episode where we learn why 100% electric road transportation will benefit our climate, health, justice, and economy, how it will soon become a cheaper choice than petrol vehicles, and what an electrified Rolls Royce might look like. If you enjoyed this episode, listen to our chat back in season one with electrification advocate and TED speaker, Monica Araya, on why we must ditch the tailpipe: https://tedxlondon.com/podcast/climate-curious-why-our-cities-must-ditch-the-exhaust-pipe/

Monica Araya is at the forefront of a global campaign to get rid of fossil fuel vehicles in favour of emissions free transport, and says the next five years are utterly critical. She is a member of the United Nations Climate Champions team, and a distinguished fellow with the Drive Electric campaign - a coalition of over 70 organisations lobbying for the cause. It was instrumental in persuading the European Commission to propose that after 2035, there will be no more sales of petrol and diesel cars. With more than a billion internal combustion vehicles around the world, how much progress has been made to change the system?

The roadmap to ending pollution from transportation is here, says electrification advocate Monica Araya. In conversation with head of TED Chris Anderson, Araya introduces Drive Electric: a global campaign to retire the polluting internal combustion engine in time to avoid climate disaster. And she shares some exciting news: a breakthrough funding commitment from the Audacious Project that puts the project well on its way to realizing a billion-dollar plan to supercharge the transition to electric vehicles over the next five years. Learn more about the coalition of 70 organizations powering this global action -- and the role all cities, politicians and citizens can play to secure a zero-emission transport future. (This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

Monica Araya is the Transport Lead at Climate Champions, the conveners of the Race to Zero and a global clean mobility advocate. Emmanuel and Monica discuss how COVID has impacted the global transition to electric vehicles, COP 26, and the rational and emotional reasons for buying a car.

On our third episode from the "Mind the Mobility Gap Series" you'll hear from some trailblazing women in the sustainable mobility field: Monica Araya, Lead for Transport at Climate Champions, and Christina Bu, Secretary-General at the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association. Monica Araya is Lead for Transport at Climate Champions. As a clean mobility advocate (check out her recent TED talk here), she was also selected to join the first all-female expedition to Antarctica due to her commitment to advance climate solutions.Christina Bu is Secretary General at the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association. With over 80,000 members, Norwegian EV is the world's largest driver of electric vehicle adoption. She is an expert and advocate on clean mobility, electric vehicles, and charging infrastructure.According to a CIVITAS study published this year, women are recognised as being more likely to adopt sustainable travel behaviours than men. (Well done, ladies!

This is our second episode of an Outrage + Optimism investigative series on The Future of Transport. There’s no denying that for over a century, fossil fuels have played a key role in humanity’s progress. But at a cost. They account for two-thirds of global greenhouse-gas emissions, and the pollution from burning them kills more than 4 million people a year. So in a year where cars sat unused, and oil prices crashed...what is the future of fuels? We know that in order to meet the Paris Agreement, we need to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030. Because even though COVID-19 is expected to reduce energy-related CO2 emissions by 7% this year, we need massive changes in how we move people and things. So will we see the end of the internal combustion engine? How will the world go electric? Can hydrogen scale to meet our energy demands? Our hosts Tom Rivett-Carnac, Christiana Figueres and Paul Dickinson pull out the roadmap to a zero-emission future, hit the road looking for answers to a decarbonized transport sector with experts who are in the driver's seat.

You don't have to be an expert or a car owner to get involved in the exhaust pipe debate – from the way your parcels are delivered to how you get around, we're all using a transport system which is hurting our planet. The solution? Electrifying transportation, especially fleets. On this episode of TEDxLondon's Climate Curious podcast electrification advocate and TED speaker Monica Araya breaks down how we can shift to an emissions-free world, in an equitable way. She joins hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst to debunk the different energy sources that power our vehicles, explain why EVs are so much more than a Tesla, and highlight the cities leading the way to eliminate these exhaust pipe polluters. Having spent her career campaigning for clean air across the world, Monica is optimistic for where we'll be in ten years; “the sound of the city will be different”. This week's Climate Confessions?

Partout dans le monde, les gens exigent de l'air pur - et les villes commencent à réagir, déclare Monica Araya, défenseure de l'électrification. Elle nous emmène dans un tour du monde des zones urbaines qui travaillent à l'électrification complète de leurs systèmes de transport : motos, voitures, bus, ferries et autres. Voyez à quoi pourrait ressembler un avenir sans moteur à combustion - et ce qu'il faudra pour y parvenir.

En este episodio, Monica Araya conversa con Marcelo Mena, quien por años ha luchado por el aire libre y acaba de lanzar una iniciativa para involucrar a las comunidades en el monitoreo de la calidad del aire con el fin de proteger a la población y en particular la niñez. La iniciativa nace en Chile y se extiende a otras ciudades latinoamericanas.

Generar valor a partir de residuos y dar al consumidor un rol pragmático y protagónico es la idea. En este episodio, Mónica Araya conversa con Karla Chaves, la mujer detrás de Ecolones - que podríamos llamar una “moneda virtual” para residuos. Ha sido esfuerzo de su equipo en Próxima Comunicaciones, que tomó varios años en diseñar y que fue lanzado en 2018. Hoy ya se ha convertido en “Ecoins” una moneda virtual con alcance para América Latina. El concepto se inspira en una visión de economía circular con un fuerte componente de activación del poder del consumidor para consolidar el hábito de separar y devolver materiales valorizables con el fin de aumentar el reciclaje en los centros de acopio y reducir el volumen que acaba en los rellenos sanitarios. Lo entregado genera “Ecoins” mediante un App que pueden ser canjeados por descuentos en productos, servicios y experiencias sostenibles. Según Karla, estos reciclables valen dinero, y esta iniciativa busca crear incentivos para cambiar hábitos de consumo informados y trabajar con empresas que ven una oportunidad económica en la economía circular - que como bien apunta Karla, va más allá del reciclaje pero empieza con tomar conciencia del consumo a través del paso elemental de separar y conocer los residuos que generamos. Esta idea ha tenido éxito en Costa Rica y ya se sumó Panamá y Perú. Como Karla piensa en grande, ahora la nueva meta es escalar a todos los países de la región latinoamericana con la idea de que esté en por lo menos 10 en los próximos 2 años.

In this episode, Monica Araya talks with Karla Chaves, the woman behind Ecolones - what we could call a “virtual currency” for waste. It has been the effort of her team in Próxima Comunicaciones, which took several years to design and was launched in 2018. Today, it has become “Ecoins” a virtual currency with scope for Latin America. The concept is inspired by a vision of circular economy with a strong component of consumer power activation to consolidate the habit of separating and returning valuable materials in order to increase recycling in the collection centers and reduce the volume that ends up in landfills. The deliverables generate "Ecoins" through an App that can be exchanged for discounts on products, services and sustainable experiences. According to Karla, these recyclables are worth money, and this initiative seeks to create incentives to change informed consumption habits and work with companies that see an economic opportunity in the circular economy - which as Karla points out, goes beyond recycling but begins with awareness of consumption through the elementary step of separating and knowing the waste we generate. This idea has been successful in Costa Rica, and Panama and Peru have already joined. As Karla thinks big, now the new goal is to scale to all the countries of the Latin American region with the idea that they expand to at least 10 countries in the next 2 years.

En esta ocasión el episodio fue grabado en Guanacaste, en el noroeste de Costa Rica porque allá se gesta una historia pionera en materia de hidrógeno con a crear un ecosistema pionero en América Latina. Mónica Araya conversó con el físico José Castro Nieto y el ingeniero Juan Ignacio del Valle quienes han trabajado por años con Ad Astra Rocket Company. Conversan sobre hidrógeno verde y fuentes renovables, su uso en camiones y buses de larga distancia como parte del giro necesario a la movilidad eléctrica, y allá en Guanacaste ella probó los vehículos de hidrógeno que son los primeros en operar en toda América Latina. El episodio también aborda la importancia de no entregarnos a la desesperanza en estos tiempos tan complejos que vivimos, sino más bien entrarle fuerte a las barreras al cambio, a perseverar y sumar. Por eso, escucharán a los invitados hablar de una Alianza por el Hidrógeno que se lanzó en Costa Rica este año. Esta historia empieza con un mensaje especial de un costarricense icónico y una de las personas que más ha impulsado el hidrógeno en Costa Rica. Es astronauta y ha ido al espacio en siete misiones de la NASA: es el físico costarricense Franklin Chang Díaz quien hace una poderosa introducción a este episodio de Ponerse Las Pilas.

Monica Araya spoke with physicist José Castro Nieto and engineer Juan Ignacio del Valle who have worked for years with Ad Astra Rocket Company. They talk about green hydrogen and renewable sources, their use in trucks and long-distance buses as part of the necessary turn to electric mobility. There in Guanacaste she tested the hydrogen vehicles that are the first to operate throughout Latin America. The episode also addresses the importance of not not falling into despair in these complex times, but rather tackling head on these stubborn barriers to change, persevering and bringing others on board. Therefore, they will hear the guests talk about a Hydrogen Alliance that was launched in Costa Rica this year. This story begins with a special message from an iconic Costa Rican and one of the people who has most boosted hydrogen in Central America. He is an astronaut and has gone to space on seven NASA missions: This is physicist Franklin Chang Díaz who makes a powerful introduction to this episode of Ponerse Las Pilas.

En este episodio Monica Araya entrevista a Luis Pérez y Katy Van Dusen de CORCLIMA, una gran iniciativa climática comunitaria para la zona Monteverde en Costa Rica. National Geographic una vez llamó a Monteverde “la joya del corona de los bosques nubosos”. Es uno de los destinos ecoturísticos más visitados en Costa Rica. En la comunidad viven 6,500 personas y es visitado por unas 250,000 turistas así que hay un fuerte impacto por el transporte terrestre – en su mayoría transporte de alquiler y shuttles – a base de gasolina y diesel. Por lo tanto la comunidad ha decidido liderar en la descarbonización del turismo mediante la creación de la “Ruta Eléctrica” de Monteverde. Este episodio nos narra cómo nació la idea, qué metas tiene y quienes se han involucrado hasta la fecha. Es una historia inspiradora grabada en un lugar hermoso y pacífico.

The first Electric Route for Ecotourism In this episode Monica Araya interviews Luis Pérez and Kathy Van Dusen of CORCLIMA, a great community climate initiative for the Monteverde area in Costa Rica. National Geographic once called Monteverde "the crown jewel of the cloud forests." It is one of the most visited ecotourism destinations in Costa Rica. About 6,500 people live receiving up to 250,000 tourists in a year so there is a strong impact by land transportation - mostly rental transport and shuttles – because of the burning of petrol and diesel to reach the destination. The community has decided to lead in the decarbonization of tourism by creating Ruta Electrica, the "Electric Route" of Monteverde. This episode tells us how the idea was born, what goals they have and who has been involved to date. It is an inspiring story recorded in a beautiful and peaceful location. We thank the Hotel Selina for treating us during our stay in Monteverde for the recording of this episode.

En este episodio les traemos algo nuevo que completa las entrevistas. Nuestra meta es entregarles esto como una especie de “diario narrado” cada 5-6 episodios. Es un breve relato desde algún evento importante para capturar las mejores ideas afines con el espíritu de “ponernos las pilas”. Lo grabo al final del día y comparto una reflexión. “Crear Comunidad” Esta crónica resume las impresiones del viaje a Edimburgo en Escocia aprovechando que me invitaron a participar en esto que llaman “TED summit”, organizado por el equipo de l célebre plataforma de charlas globales www.ted.com (Toda la información está en #TED Summit) Soy parte de esta comunidad desde 2016 cuando di mi charla TED, luego colaboré como mentora de la iniciativa de TED y BMW “Next Visionaries” en 2017 enfocada en movilidad sostenible. En 2018 colaboré con el TED blog mediante una entrevista sobre mi trabajo en Costa Rica y ese año también participé en el TED anual en Vancouver. En 2019 creó una comunidad de “TED speakers” : ver qué pasaba allá en el verde de Escocia al ponernos juntos como perfectos extraños... Aproveché para reflexionar sobre el tema de la conferencia: “Crear Comunidad Más Allá de las Fronteras” y aquí les cuento qué ideas y personas que dejaron huella. ¡Cuéntenos qué piensan!

Our goal is to deliver something that could be described as a "narrated journal" and publish it every 5-6 episodes. It is a brief account from some important event capturing the best ideas in the spirit of "charging our batteries” o “Ponerse Las Pilas”. I recorded each at the end of the day when I reflect about the ideas I heard and the people I met. “Create Community” This chronicle summarizes the impressions of the trip to Edinburgh in Scotland, taking advantage that they invited me to participate in what they call “TED summit”, organized by the team of the famous global chat platform www.ted.com

When a surprise male guest visits this all-women's expedition one night, the tone changes. A question is asked that he can't answer, and we watch the glass ceiling begin to shatter. Environmental activist and ocean swimmer Lewis Pugh, also known as The Speedo Diplomat, visits for stories and questions. He tells an inspiring story about influencing change in Antarctica. But then participant Monica Araya, Costa Rican environmentalist and activist, asked him an uncomfortable question; one he doesn’t have an answer for, the outcome might just surprise you.

What happens when 76 high-wattage women spend three weeks aboard a ship in Antarctica, the most desolate place on the planet? Conversations ignite. Debates are sparked. About career choices. White privilege. And about doubt.  It turns out that it’s not always easy to agree to disagree, or agree to agree. Original theme music by Gabriel Corindia.

Every woman has a different leadership style. But what if magic is the special ingredient? Sometimes it's hard to know when to talk about things, and when to let them go.  What does success mean to you; In the moment, or in the big picture? Original music by Gabriel Corindia.

Does leadership training come through a battery of psychological tests? Or is it more about something closer at hand? Knowing yourself. Deep down. And then, being comfortable with that knowing. But how do we get there? And if you get there, what do you do with that information? You’re in Antarctica now and you begin to meet the women. They’re raw, transparent, and inspiring. Hard questions are asked about what makes someone a good leader. We start to hear the sounds of Antarctica, and get to know the women who are a part of this podcast: Monica Araya, Dyan deNapoli, Danielle Medek, Deborah Pardo.
