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.

Knowledge and Training

We promote advanced technical training programs that facilitate the exchange of experiences, as well as the development of the human and institutional capacities needed to support the energy transformations in our region.

Our academic offering includes executive programs, postgraduate diplomas, master’s degrees, and innovative initiatives focused on topics such as energy transition, conventional energy, renewable energy, e-mobility, and regional integration.

OLACDE creates a regional network focused on energy knowledge that connects governments, young professionals, academics, and sector experts to drive collaborative solutions through technical cooperation and talent development to address future energy and climate challenges.

Technical cooperation and financing

We strengthen South-South and triangular cooperation ties as drivers to accelerate energy transitions in Latin America and the Caribbean. OLACDE brings together efforts among governments, multilateral organizations, academic institutions, and the private sector to mobilize financing, technical capacities, and innovative solutions tailored to our regional reality.

We promote strategic initiatives aimed at directing resources toward projects focused on decarbonization, conventional energy, renewable energy, and energy justice, with the objective of establishing a more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable regional cooperation architecture.

Regional Energy Community

We are building a regional energy community with a global outlook that seeks to position Latin America and the Caribbean as a key player on the international stage. OLACDE strengthens its representation in major multilateral forums related to energy, trade, and climate by fostering strategic alliances and promoting international cooperation.

Through events such as Energy Week, together with new spaces for international dialogue, we promote a collective voice that helps attract financial investment and create new opportunities for sustainable development across our region.

Energy Transition and Strategic Projects

We drive an energy transition based on principles of sustainability, energy security, and social inclusion. OLACDE supports countries in adopting new technologies related to energy efficiency, energy storage, green hydrogen, electromobility, and grid digitalization to accelerate the sector’s decarbonization process.

Our approach also includes promoting strategic projects that strengthen energy resilience at the regional level, contributing to emission reductions while consolidating a cleaner and more competitive energy infrastructure. Initiatives such as OEMLAC position our region as a leading reference in climate innovation and sustainable energy transition.

Energy information and data

We develop regional platforms dedicated to energy information, technical analysis, and strategic data systems that strengthen both public and private decision-making in the sector. OLACDE promotes the digital transformation of the sector through the use of artificial intelligence, georeferencing, and advanced tools for regional energy analysis.

The integration of systems such as SieLAC, together with new regional platforms, allows for the consolidation of reliable and up-to-date technical information, facilitating modern, interoperable, and evidence-based energy planning.

Regional Energy Integration

We promote cooperation in the regional energy sector, focused on collaboration, infrastructure development, and regulatory harmonization, with the objective of strengthening energy security in Latin America and the Caribbean. OLACDE coordinates projects related to electrical interconnection, gas integration, and regional energy planning, seeking to create efficient and sustainable partnerships.

Through cooperation with the governments of our 27 member countries, regional blocs, multilateral institutions, and both public and private stakeholders, we drive strategic initiatives that promote regulatory harmonization and new energy exchange mechanisms, in order to enhance national capacities and accelerate an integrated energy transition at the regional level.
