"LxC Engineering for Regenerative Governance: A Physico-Chemical and Exergetic Framework for Transforming Carbon into Organized Living Capital, [Ingeniería VxC para la Gobernanza Regenerativa: Marco Exergético para la Organización de Vida y Valor a partir del Carbono]"

Resumen

"This article presents Participatory Regenerative Governance LxC (Life per Carbon) as a scientific and engineering-based strategy to transform captured carbon and solar energy into living biomass with multicapital value. Derived from the IP.IDEAS.S framework, LxC Engineering is based on the CRPC (Carbon Regenerative Physico-Chemical Cycle), whose technical equivalence establishes: L = C + 6.5 kWh/kg, Where: L is regenerated life, C is the captured carbon (kg CO2 eq), 6.5 kWh/kg is the solar energy required to structure 1 kg of useful biomass. Unlike Elkington's Triple Bottom Line approach, LxC not only integrates ESG dimensions but articulates them with physico-chemical traceability, exergetic efficiency, and verifiable regeneration. Its methodological framework combines: DPAV (Decide, Plan, Act, Value), as a strategic governance cycle, UPA (Calculate, Understand, Plan, Act), as the operational core, ETESG, a Ecological, Technological, Economic, and Scientific Governance decisions, 9SP, the canvas of Nine Strategic Pillars to design and evaluate regenerative processes. The model applies indicators such as ROP, BM, CM, and PTF, and tools including Markov chain simulations and Leontief input-output matrices. Its validation in the Peruvian Amazon (1977-2024) demonstrates the potential to redesign territorial development through structural regeneration, collaborative governance, and applied science. © 2026 Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions.
