Abstract

The Cuicocha lagoon, located in the province of Imbabura is contaminated by methane gas and has not done a feasibility study to extract methane and remove the contamination, which must include a social analysis where the government is a participant in the topic and communicate the private economic for cleaning or dredging to generate models of changes in the energy matrix, because alternative energy sources are needed and this is the only option out there because the lagoon is polluted and this implies a social risk. The scientific objective of this article is to find ways to make it feasible and viable to extract methane gas in the lagoon with the help of government and establish social income, where they are willing to pay an amount in the form of light, to help decontaminate the lagoon. As well, the State to be a social income, where it can benefit the community in this sector is demonstrated.
