Energy transition Definition

Energy transition refers to the orderly and planned process of transformation in electricity generation, aimed at shifting from conventional sources towards clean energy with sustainability criteria. This process seeks to establish an energy generation model that is environmentally more sustainable, reducing carbon emissions, and socially more inclusive. In other words, the energy transition involves the progressive adoption of new sources of electricity generation, accompanied by the necessary procedures to increase the use of clean and renewable energies as fundamental components in various productive sectors, especially those linked to electricity generation and the socioeconomic development of the country. All of this with the aim of carrying out this transition in an effective, efficient, equitable, innovative, and sustainable manner.

Decarbonization

What does this mean?

Decarbonization is defined as the process of reducing carbon emissions, mainly carbon dioxide (CO2), in the atmosphere. This approach aims to establish a global economy with low emissions to achieve climate neutrality through an efficient and sustainable energy transition.

The energy transition is a fundamental pillar in this decarbonization process. It consists of a structural change that aims to progressively eliminate the use of carbon in energy production. To achieve this goal, electrification of the economy through clean alternative energy sources is essential, ensuring emissions are in line with the planet’s absorption capacity.

This vision oriented towards decarbonization and energy transition reflects an active commitment to environmental sustainability and the mitigation of the impacts of climate change, paving the way towards a more resilient and equitable future for future generations.

Urban transition Cities role

Cities play a crucial role in driving the energy transition, as they are significant consumers of energy and sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Setting ambitious renewable goals to invest in sustainable infrastructure towards more energy-efficient buildings and transportation systems, fueled by renewable energy is what cities need to do.

Cities that are able to adapt and carry out the necessary transformations efficiently will end up being more competitive (that is, more capable of generating sustainable economic activity and social well-being).

Site context

Vallejo Industrial Zone The Vallejo Industrial zone is located in the north of Mexico City, almost bordering the State of Mexico. It is an industrial zone of utmost importance for the country since its Gross Domestic Product is comparable to that of entire countries.

It has around 500 hectares of land and is home to around 760 economically active companies. It has informal housing areas but its conditions are not worthy for a person to live there. It has a train track that is infrequently used but that in the 70’s, was the main means of transportation for company supplies.

Site context

Public transport The Vallejo Industrial Zone covers an area of 500 hectares of land and is home to approximately 760 industries, employing a workforce of around 50,000 people. Despite this significant industrial activity and the substantial number of workers, the availability of public transportation in the area is limited compared to the demand from users.

Bus routes are indicated by yellow lines on the map, while the metro route is marked in pink and the metrobus line is highlighted in green. Although access to the area is relatively straightforward from various points in the city, users face difficulties in moving within it due to the limited public transportation options. Furthermore, the roads are primarily designed for private vehicles, freight trucks, and trailers, further complicating the mobility of those reliant on public transport in the area.

Site Context

Recreational Equipment In Vallejo, there’s a significant demand for sporting equipment, primarily supplied by private industries within their employeecentric shared spaces. However, publicly accessible facilities are often situated on the outskirts of the industrial area. This arrangement underscores the employees’ keen interest in such amenities, highlighting sports and recreational activities as integral components of the social and communal fabric within the industrial zones of the metropolitan area. Notably, the sole provision for children’s recreational equipment is a playground near the Vallejo Metro station.

Site Context

Location of the site The chosen site corresponds to a parking lot owned by the Sherwin Williams factory, covering an area of 10 ​​ hectares and having an irregular shape. The strategic selection of this site is based on its direct connection to the railway tracks, which offers numerous possibilities for its reuse. Additionally, its proximity to main roads such as Calzada Vallejo adds significant value.

This vacant space, formerly used as a parking lot, along with the railway tracks, is seen as an extension of underutilized areas that currently represent social barriers in the area.

Site analysis

Sun and wind path The trajectory followed by the sun is consistently from East to West. However, during the Winter season, this path manifests distinctly as it descends below the horizon line in relation to the specified location. Conversely, in Summer, the sun’s trajectory ascends above the designated site, presenting a contrasting position and angle in the sky. This, not only defines the length of daylight and darkness but also profoundly impacts the thermal regimes, energy inputs, and climatic nuances experienced at the selected site.

The prevailing wind consistently flows from the southwest to the northeast, traversing the designated location. This directional pattern is a consistent feature, contributing significantly to the climatic conditions and environmental dynamics of the area. Thus, understanding and analyzing the behavior of this southwest-to-northeast wind flow is essential for comprehensively assessing the environmental characteristics and patterns within the specified geographical context.

Site analysis Flood zone

Based on climatological data, which encompasses records spanning at least three decades pertaining to rainfall patterns, Mexico City experiences an annual average precipitation ranging from 600 to 800 millimeters, with July exhibiting the highest accumulation throughout the year. Similarly, Vallejo, situated in the northern vicinity of Mexico City, displays a comparable rainfall pattern. Notably, it is imperative to underscore that one of the most flood-prone areas within the industrial complex lies north of the designated intervention site.

Site context Access map

Regarding the site’s location, it has been previously mentioned that it is situated between main thoroughfares, as evidenced by the map where the various entrances are clearly highlighted: pedestrian entrances, identified in blue; entrances for trucks and cargo transport, highlighted in pink; and finally, commercial areas, represented in yellow.

It is worth noting that, in this distribution, the emphasis seems to be more on the entrances for cargo vehicles and commercial establishments, relegating pedestrian entrances to a secondary position. This fact is particularly relevant given the limited development of public transportation in the area, which implies that the majority of users are forced to travel on foot to reach their workplaces or other destinations.

This situation poses a significant challenge in terms of accessibility and safety for pedestrians, who should occupy a prioritized position in urban planning and the design of road infrastructure.

Vegetation palette Justification

The Secretary of the Environment (SEDEMA) of Mexico City reports on the program for the revegetation of the Conservation Soil with the planting of 10.5 million trees, shrubs and other types of plants.

All the plants used in reforestation are produced in the Corenadr forest nursery.

Revegetation seeks to make the city greener, connecting the conservation land with the urban dream through green infrastructure. “It is important to reforest and take care of the trees because we are going to obtain great benefits from them, better air quality, infiltration and availability of water, as well as the retention of suspended particles,” said Miguel Ángel Delgado, in charge of the forest nursery.

Boundaries and Limitations The property has a single access point at the front. The road bordering it is a six-lane avenue, two of which belong to the East Metrobus. The property is surrounded by two 6-meterhigh walls, and the rear accesses are the backs of industrial warehouses. There are plans to intervene in the street with a median, creating a connection for pedestrians with all the people transiting through Vallejo. The site is bordered by railways, which is important for the project as it allows for the creation of two lines of the trolleybus system.

Consumption and production The project has an annual consumption of 676,390 kW/h per year, however, it produces 1,064,985 kW/h, that is, it is energy self-sustainable. The remaining watts are destined for the Azcapotzalco public lighting system and the Sherwin Williams Factory, because it is an immediate neighbor of the site.
