IGU Supports Latin America’s Naturgas Congress

The International Gas Union (IGU) is delighted to support Naturgas Congress taking place during 9-11 April 2025 in Barranquilla, Colombia, one of the most sought after event of the natural gas industry in Latin America and the Caribbean and provide its members with a 15% discount* to attend this prestigious event.

Organised by our Charter Member, the Colombian Natural Gas Association (NATURGAS), this congress is a critical platform for driving impactful discussions on energy security, poverty reduction, and climate change across Latin America and not only.

With the theme "The Voice of the Global South," Naturgas Congress will place a spotlight on the essential role that Global South countries play in stabilising the global energy market, as natural gas is fundamental to economic development, eradicating energy poverty, and spearheading the development and application of renewable gases.

The academic agenda of the Congress will tackle vital topics, including energy security, the balance of energy transition, natural gas supply, geopolitics, technological innovation, public policy challenges, and financing tools for energy projects. Furthermore, discussions will delve into how the region can assert its leadership in Gas production and commercialisation, with a strong focus on decarbonisation and sustainability.

IGU’s Vice President, Mr Andrea Stegher, said: “Naturgas Congress is recognised as the most significant Gas industry’s discussion platform in Latin America, and has been so for almost 30 years now. I am very much looking forward to addressing the decision-makers, national and international experts, investors, and high-level government representatives attending the Congress, and sharing with them my views on the criticality of Gas for the region, and not only.”
