New York,New York January 22, 2025 – PRISM MediaWire – Hosted by the Colombia Natural Gas Association (Naturgas), the 27th edition of the Naturgas Congress is the largest and leading gas event in Latin America and the Caribbean, providing a regional voice for the global south.

Natural gas is poised to play a pivotal role in the energy future and the world’s efforts to mitigate climate change, serving as a cleaner transitional fuel as the world moves away from more carbon-intensive energy sources. The gas industry primarily aims to promote quality of life through the transformative force of gases, providing global energy security, and tackling energy poverty worldwide while still generating profitable results. This resource is crucial in today’s economies as a social, environmental, and economic development engine.

Nations in the global south are ready to stabilize the global energy market, as its Caribbean / Atlantic offshore basin is currently becoming an energy hub able to provide supply assurance to the region and the world. Colombia is well positioned to provide a voice for the global south nations by establishing strategic alliances with energy leaders and important dialogues with governments to firmly secure natural gas and renewable gases as critical resources for global energy transformation.

“The global south can inject additional stability into the global energy market, as its Caribbean / Atlantic offshore basin is transforming into an energy hub able to provide assurance of supply. However, prioritizing energy security and expanding renewable gas technologies, can and should go, hand-in-hand. I believe in the power of partnerships. Colombia is ready to champion the voice of the global south by establishing strategic alliances with energy leaders, as well as strategic dialogues with governments to firmly secure natural gas and renewable gases as the fundamental source for global energy transformation.”
Luz Stella Murgas, President, Naturgas
