This work is devoted to present and analyze an expression for the gravitational energy-momentum vector in the context of f(T) theories through field equations. Such theories are the analogous counterpart of the well-known f(R) theories, except using torsion instead of curvature. We obtain a general expression for the gravitational energy-momentum vector in this framework. Using the hypothesis of the isotropy of spacetime, we find the gravitational energy for a closed universe, since construction of real tetrads that do not constrain the functional form of the Lagrangian density was not possible for an open universe. Thus, we find a vanishing gravitational energy for the tetrad that we have used.
