Abstract
Actualmente, un gran porcentaje de la energía comercial utilizada en el Perú depende del petróleo y sus derivados. El crecimiento económico del país ha generado una mayor demanda de hidrocarburos, la cual no es satisfecha por la producción nacional, que debería ser siete veces mayor para cubrir dicha necesidad. En este contexto, se hace imprescindible impulsar el sector hidrocarburífero en el Perú, fomentando la inversión y promoviendo proyectos de exploración. El biólogo desempeña un papel fundamental en este proceso, ya que para que estos proyectos puedan desarrollarse es necesario obtener la certificación ambiental correspondiente, asegurando que las actividades se lleven a cabo minimizando los impactos negativos sobre los ecosistemas. Esta monografía tiene como objetivo describir y analizar la función del biólogo en la elaboración de un Estudio de Impacto Ambiental (EIA) detallado para el sector hidrocarburos, específicamente durante las actividades de exploración. A lo largo de este análisis, se ha evidenciado que el biólogo desempeña un papel fundamental en las principales etapas del proceso, que incluyen la planificación, elaboración y aprobación del EIA. Se destaca la relevancia de sus conocimientos técnicos en la identificación de los componentes biológicos, la evaluación de impactos y la proposición de medidas de manejo ambiental. Además, se proponen mejoras que optimicen los procesos de evaluación ambiental, con el fin de contribuir al desarrollo sostenible del sector hidrocarburos, garantizando una adecuada conservación de la biodiversidad y preservar el funcionamiento ecosistémico en las áreas donde se realizan este tipo de proyectos.
A significant percentage of the commercial energy used in Peru currently depends on oil and its derivatives. The country’s economic growth has led to a greater demand for hydrocarbons, which is not met by national production. To satisfy this demand, Peru would need a production capacity seven times greater than its current level. In this context, it becomes essential to boost the hydrocarbon sector by encouraging investment and promoting exploration projects. Biologists play a key role in this process, as the development of these projects requires obtaining the necessary environmental certification to ensure that activities are conducted while minimizing negative impacts on ecosystems. This monograph aims to describe and analyze the role of the biologist in the development of a detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the hydrocarbon sector, specifically during exploration activities. Throughout this analysis, it has been shown that the biologist plays a crucial role in the main stages of the process, which include the planning, preparation, and approval of the EIA. The importance of their technical knowledge in identifying biological components, assessing impacts, and proposing environmental management measures is emphasized. Furthermore, improvements are proposed to optimize environmental assessment processes, aiming to contribute to the sustainable development of the hydrocarbon sector while ensuring the proper conservation of biodiversity and preserving ecosystem functionality in the areas where such projects are conducted.
