Peru energy resource and alternative fuel development

Overview

Discussions regarding Peru’s energy landscape have focused on the potential of natural gas and emerging alternative fuels to enhance industrial efficiency and national energy security.

Industry representatives have highlighted how transitioning from diesel and coal to natural gas could significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the industrial sector. Technical experts noted that gas engines offer high electrical efficiency and can be adapted for future use with hydrogen.

In addition to natural gas, there are calls to investigate natural hydrogen as a means to strengthen energy security, though experts indicate that Peru currently lacks the data necessary to compare its potential to neighboring countries. Furthermore, there is interest in developing the Piura region into a major gas hub to complement the Camisea site in Cusco, provided that regulatory and economic barriers are addressed and pipeline infrastructure is improved.
