The XII Natural Gas Conference is an event that aims to promote the transition of the energy matrix and highlight the actions that the main actors in the energy sector are implementing for development within the framework of an international energy policy that considers this transition, with the goal of fulfilling the commitment toward carbon neutrality.
At this event, various representatives gathered to discuss and delve deeper into the topic. OLADE, represented by its Technical Advisor, Gastón Siroit, participated in the panel “Impact of Natural Gas on the Economic and Social Development of Latin America and the Caribbean.”
Siroit emphasized that regional integration of natural gas is necessary to strengthen energy security, reduce global emissions, and replace liquid fuels in Latin America and the Caribbean, promoting cooperation between countries to optimize access to and use of this resource. As a transitional fuel, natural gas is a cleaner alternative compared to traditional fossil fuels, supporting a just energy transition in the region.
He also stressed that regional collaboration allows for the maximum utilization of existing infrastructure and the development of new infrastructure, ensuring efficient and equitable distribution that benefits all nations involved. Therefore, rigorous monitoring must be implemented.
