| description | Over the years, the population's need for energy has caused environmental pollution problems associated with the use of fossil fuels. Bioenergy is an alternative which various countries have proposed to reduce the volume of polluting gases into the atmosphere, with biodiésel and bioethanol being the ones that present the greatest commercial advantages worldwide, in addition to the fact that they are necessary for compliance with international agreements on environmental matters. This work focuses on analyzing the comparative advantage in 56 countries with respect to the production of biodiésel and bioethanol, for which the Revealed Comparative Advantage (VCR) and the Normalized Revealed Comparative Advantage (VCRN) index were used. The results show that to produce biodiésel, the countries with the greatest advantage are Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Indonesia and the European Union (a group of 28 countries), meanwhile for the production of bioethanol, Colombia, the United States, Argentina, Brazil and the European Union are the ones with the greatest advantages.

La necesidad de energía de la población ha originado con el paso de los años problemas de contaminación ambiental asociados al uso de combustibles de origen fósil. La bioenergía es una alternativa que diversos países han propuesto para disminuir el volumen de gases contaminantes a la atmósfera; el biodiésel y bioetanol son los que presentan mayores ventajas comerciales en el mundo, aparte de que son necesarios para el cumplimiento de acuerdos internacionales en materia ambiental. El presente trabajo se enfoca en analizar la ventaja comparativa en 56 países respecto a la producción de biodiésel y bioetanol, para lo cual se utilizó el índice de la ventaja comparativa revelada (VCR) y el índice de la ventaja comparativa revelada normalizada (VCRN). Los resultados muestran que para la producción de biodiésel los países con mayor ventaja son España, Argentina, Brasil, Indonesia y la Unión Europea (conjunto de 28 países), mientras que en la producción de bioetanol sobresalen Colombia, Estados Unidos, Argentina, Brasil y la Unión Europea.
