Abstract
Based upon reduction of emission targets established by the Argentine Government Authorities we studied the consistency of those announcements and established the energy policy goals to 2050. We contrast those targets with a non-restricted optimization model and found them quite similar. Afterwards a Net Zero scenario was defined. All these three scenarios were made using of the OSeMOSYS tool. Several findings reveal that a Net Zero proposal could bring advantages and disadvantages. However, a further exploration requires to go deeper into the understanding of replacement energy sources in other sectors of the economy. A lot of tasks to be done in the near future
