Reflections based on Enrique Dussel’s Liberation Political Project: Territories and Renewable Energies in the Central Region of Rio Grande do Norte

In this article, some reflections on the issue of renewable energies are developed based on the work of the philosopher Enrique Dussel (1934-2023), particularly from the political project of liberation. The objective is to reveal how, through this project, it is possible to build critical contributions for a reading on renewable energies, also known as "clean energies." The empirical case comprises observations made in the Central Region of Rio Grande do Norte, through the arrival of renewable energy ventures and the consequences on the rural territories in the central region of the state. This research has a descriptive and observational character, combined with an ethnographic approach.
