Sumario:The objective of this study was: to analyze the current state of energy efficiency in the transportation and storage of gas at the Monteverde Terminal. Methodology: The type of research was developed on the basis of the qualitative approach, under a bibliographical and documentary research. The method used was the inductive one. The population consisted of 30 documents grouped into theses/articles/books, among others, obtained online, in the Google Scholar databases, indexed journals; digital libraries of national and international universities, web pages of official organizations, such as IDB, World Bank, WTO, OMI, Petroecuador, among others. The sample was made up of seven (07) documentary sources whose contribution and importance were considered the most valuable for this investigation. The results obtained are processed through the analysis matrix with parameters that the researchers take based on strategic criteria such as pertinence, relevance, year of publication, language, and others. Results: Observing the results, there are few investigations that have determined how the issue of energy efficiency is in the Monteverde Terminal. Conclusion: Energy efficiency is configured as a key element to achieve the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere from the maritime sector that surrounds the Monteverde terminal, since it points to energy savings and a change in the matrix for more efficient alternatives. clean, for sustainable development in the country that is already on this path.
