The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE), together with Colombia’s Ministry of Mines and Energy, held the Workshop on Building the Roadmap for Methane Emissions Mitigation in the hydrocarbons and coal mining sectors, held on March 27 in Bogotá.
The gathering brought together representatives from the public sector, companies and technical organizations, who worked jointly to validate the national diagnosis and define priorities, actions and enabling conditions to move forward with a roadmap that is viable, actionable and backed by the sector’s various stakeholders.
This process is part of the work driven by the Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization through the Methane Emissions Observatory for Latin America and the Caribbean (OEMLAC), an initiative aimed at strengthening the technical foundation, information availability and coordination among stakeholders to advance methane emissions reduction in the region.
During the workshop, authorities from Colombia’s Ministry of Mines and Energy highlighted the importance of aligning efforts between the public and private sectors to advance emissions reduction in the hydrocarbons and coal sectors, noting that technical cooperation and joint work are essential for designing and implementing effective policies.
OLACDE underscored the importance of this type of technical and participatory process, which makes it possible to move from diagnosis to action by building roadmaps with a technical, institutional and sectoral approach, thereby helping to strengthen the energy transition and the implementation of sustainable solutions in Latin America and the Caribbean.
