La interdependencia hispano-argelina en cuestiones energéticas

Abstract

The interdependence of Spain and Algeria in energy matters. Since the 1980’s, Spain and Europe have been importing an increasing part of their hydrocarbons from Algeria. This situation has led to an interdependence which could be dangerous for both. Spain does not manage to reduce its energy consumption, but its efforts to diversify and to reduce it dependence from oil has greatly increased its consumption of natural gas from Algeria. Algeria has increased its currency reserves which have allowed the country to considerably improve its situation since the civil war in the 1990’s and to guarantee the social and political status quo. However, this dependence from hydrocarbons does not allow the country to solve the structural problems of its youth and associated with a rentier economy. This paper focuses on these dependencies analyzing the increasing complexity of the hydrocarbons market, on efforts that are being made by Spain in order to diversify its supply sources of energy and the decisions made by Algeria to continue supplying energy.

Desde los años 1980 España y Europa importan una parte creciente de sus hidrocarburos de Argelia. Esta situación ha llevado a una interdependencia que puede resultar peligrosa por ambas partes. España no consigue reducir su consumo de hidrocarburos, pero en su esfuerzo por diversificar e independizarse del petróleo ha incrementado significativamente el consumo de gas natural procedente de Argelia. Por su parte este país ha aumentado sus reservar en divisas lo que le ha permitido mejorar extraordinariamente su situación desde la guerra civil de los años 1990 y garantizar a corto plazo el estatus quo social y político. Sin embargo esa misma dependencia de los hidrocarburos le impide resolver los graves problemas estructurales de su juventud y de una economía rentista. Esta comunicación estudia estas dependencias analizando la creciente complejidad del mercado de los hidrocarburos, los esfuerzos españoles por diversificar sus fuentes de abastecimiento y las apuestas de Argelia por continuar suministrando energía primaria.
