From energy transition to energy evolution: Arpel closes its 2026 Conference with a call for state policies and the recognition of natural gas as a key driver of decarbonization
04/06/2026

Arpel's Eighth Conference concluded with a call to embrace the complexity of the global energy system and move forward with a pragmatic approach. "Rather than an energy transition driven by the replacement of one energy source with another, what we are witnessing is an energy evolution," said Executive Secretary Carlos Garibaldi, reflecting the industry's perspective that emerged throughout the Conference's four-day program.

KEEP READING
Leaders of regional energy associations warned that the main barrier to attracting investment is not the global environment, but rather the lack of predictability, competitiveness, and domestic consensus, at a time when Latin America’s energy potential has yet to translate into sustained development. The remarks were made during the third day of the ARPEL Conference 2026 in Buenos Aires.

Opportunities for the Development of Gas in Latin America and the Caribbean
DOWNLOAD NOWLatin America and the Caribbean hold abundant underdeveloped natural gas resources that, if effectively developed and monetised, can provide multiple benefits to the region and world. Despite this potential, Latin America and the Caribbean account for a relatively small share of global natural gas production (approximately 5%). From a supply-side perspective, the monetisation of the region’s natural gas reserves can drive economic growth, strengthen the trade balance through higher exports and reduced imports, and support social development by expanding access to cleaner, more affordable and reliable energy.
