role in the transition, which is why decarbonizing the sector requires reliable metrics and a Methane Observatory to support decision-making. Regarding implementation and financing, Santiago Rojas (CAF) noted that the partnership with OLACDE is establishing a robust framework that unifies efforts across the region\u2014a necessary condition for mobilizing investments and scaling up solutions.<\/p>\n<p>From the outset, it was agreed that methane mitigation cannot be addressed in isolation. The contributions were organized around four cross-cutting themes: planning based on reliable and transparent data; climate financing and investment; and regulation and technological innovation applied to the measurement, detection, remediation, and control of emissions. The oil and gas subsector was the focus of attention due to its contribution to methane emissions.<\/p>\n<p>In Peru, according to data from the Ministry of Energy and Mines, this sector accounts for approximately 13% of emissions from the energy sector, and within this sector, methane leaks account for around 90%. Deputy Minister of Electricity Iris Marleni C\u00e1rdenas noted that reducing methane is one of the most cost-effective strategies for complying with the Paris Agreement, protecting public health, and improving economic resilience.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background

through an integrated system for measurement, flare control, and energy recovery. The company also noted that part of the gas that was previously flared is now used for electricity generation, through utilization and conversion technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Petroper\u00fa, through its General Manager, \u00d3scar Vera, presented the operational progress of the new Talara Refinery, which is equipped to capture, reuse, and reintegrate gas into its production processes. \u201cGas has both economic and environmental value. Optimizing its use not only reduces emissions, but also improves the system\u2019s energy efficiency,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>For its part, EP PetroEcuador presented a project at the Bajo Alto plant, in Block Amistad, to reuse reject gas for electricity generation at Termogas Machala, preventing flaring and reducing emissions by 11,400 tCO\u2082-eq per year between June 2024 and July 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Repsol Exploraci\u00f3n Per\u00fa highlighted the exchange of good practices with operators and authorities in Africa, aimed at improving emissions management, with an emphasis on methane, and strengthening technical capacities.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Talanza Energy emphasized the need for multiscale approaches to detection and quantification, both top-down and bottom-up, as well as the role of data analysis in prioritizing cost-effective mitigation measures in the region.<\/p>\n<p>From the industry association perspective, the National Society of Mining, Petroleum and Energy noted that incorporating natural gas into Peru\u2019s energy matrix could lead to a projected 21% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030, with public health benefits and economic savings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-7 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background

and compliance with national regulations related to gas utilization and the development of mitigation programs across the value chain.<\/p>\n<p>The progress made by OEMLAC since the first edition of the Summit was also presented, highlighting the launch of its website, the creation of the Methane Community of Practice (COEMLAC), and the publication of the regional methane emissions dashboard.<\/p>\n<p>On the regulatory front, it was emphasized that the region needs common, standardized, and harmonized regulatory frameworks, as well as more spaces for dialogue to strengthen parliamentary action on methane mitigation.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion also addressed new international regulatory frameworks that pose challenges for Latin America, such as that of the European Union, requiring countries to anticipate transparency and certification requirements for exported gas in preparation for its commercialization in the short term.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div
