OLACDE and OEMLAC convene the Second Methane Summit of Latin America and the Caribbean

We are pleased to announce the Second Regional Methane Summit of Latin America and the Caribbean 2025, to be held on July 23 and 24, 2025, in the city of Lima, Peru.

This event, organized by the Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) together with Peru’s Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) and the Global Methane Hub (GMH), will feature the participation of senior energy officials from the region, international financing organizations, NGOs, academic representatives, chambers, and companies from the oil and gas sector.

This summit stands as a strategic space to deepen the regional agenda on methane emission reduction, in a context for climate action marked by the presentation of new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the evaluation of the first Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs), and the return of COP30 to the region.

Over the course of two working days, high-level representatives from governments, multilateral organizations, energy sector companies, academic institutions, and technical actors will come together to exchange experiences, best practices, and innovative solutions aimed at the comprehensive management of methane in the oil and gas sector, as well as new opportunities such as biomethane.

The agenda includes:

  • Technical panels on regulation, financing, transparency, and technology.
  • Keynote presentations and sessions aimed at translating methane commitments into effective actions.
  • The presentation of progress on OEMLAC and the Low-Emission Natural Gas Certification (GNBE).

This Second Summit establishes Latin America and the Caribbean as a region committed to fulfilling the Paris Agreement, promoting technical and political dialogue on methane, one of the most potent greenhouse gases and one with the greatest potential for short-term mitigation.

Capacity building & knowledge

We advance high-level technical training programs that foster experience-sharing and develop the human and institutional capacities required to drive energy transformations across our region.

Our academic programs offer executive courses, postgraduate diplomas, master’s degrees, and innovative initiatives focused on key areas such as the energy transition, conventional and renewable energy, electromobility, and regional integration.

OLACDE builds a regional network of energy expertise, connecting governments, young professionals, academics, and industry experts to foster collaborative solutions through technical cooperation and talent development to address future energy and climate challenges.

Technical cooperation & climate finance

We strengthen South-South and triangular cooperation as key drivers to accelerate energy transitions across Latin America and the Caribbean. OLACDE unites efforts among governments, multilateral organizations, academic institutions, and the private sector to mobilize financing, technical expertise, and innovative solutions tailored to our regional context.

We advance strategic initiatives aimed at directing resources toward decarbonization, conventional energy, renewables, and energy justice projects—building a more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable regional cooperation architecture.

Regional energy community

We are building a regional energy community with a global outlook, positioning Latin America and the Caribbean as a pivotal player on the international stage. OLACDE amplifies regional representation in key multilateral energy, trade, and climate forums by fostering strategic alliances and international cooperation.

Through flagship events such as Energy Week and new spaces for high-level dialogue, we champion a collective voice that attracts investment, drives technical partnerships, and unlocks sustainable development opportunities across our region

Energy transition & strategic projects

We foster a regional energy transition built on sustainability, energy security, and social inclusion. OLACDE supports Member Countries in adopting emerging technologies—such as energy efficiency, storage solutions, green hydrogen, electromobility, and grid digitalization—to accelerate the sector’s decarbonization.

Our approach promotes strategic projects that strengthen energy resilience across Latin America and the Caribbean, reducing emissions while building a cleaner, more competitive energy infrastructure. Key regional initiatives, including OEMLAC, position our region as a benchmark for climate innovation and sustainable energy development.

Energy information and data

We develop regional platforms dedicated to energy intelligence, technical analysis, and strategic data systems that empower both public and private decision-making across the sector. OLACDE drives digital transformation in energy by leveraging artificial intelligence, georeferencing, and advanced analytical tools to map regional energy trends.

The integration of systems such as SieLAC, along with new regional digital platforms, consolidates reliable, up-to-date technical data—enabling modern, interoperable, and evidence-based energy planning.

Regional energy integration

We foster cooperation across the regional energy sector by prioritizing infrastructure development, cross-border collaboration, and regulatory alignment to enhance energy security in Latin America and the Caribbean. OLACDE coordinates strategic projects in power grid interconnections, natural gas integration, and joint energy planning to build resilient, sustainable partnerships.

Working alongside the governments of our 27 Member States, regional blocs, multilateral institutions, and key public and private stakeholders, we drive initiatives that introduce innovative energy exchange mechanisms, strengthen national capacities, and accelerate a unified regional energy transition.
