LNG 360° FORUM LATIN AMERICA & CARIBBEAN
Dear Colleague, With natural gas being the cleanest, most efficient fuel being utilized today, countries including Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Chile are now actively implementing heavy increases in its use within their energy matrix. Neighboring regions are in close pursuit, catapulting Latin America into position as one of the world’s fastest growing LNG markets. Securing long term supplies to meet the increasing demand for natural gas has become a top priority for both Latin American countries and their Caribbean counterparts. Both marketplaces are now striving to encourage the installation of new energy sources based on natural gas and to ensure availability and sustainability of energy to meet domestic demand in the long term. In light of these evolving industry developments, the LNG 360° Forum: Latin America & Caribbean will bring together buyers and suppliers to network, do business, and learn from each other on how the market is changing. Global industry leaders will also be sharing their insights and experiences of promoting LNG projects within the Caribbean islands – A region with vast potential for investment opportunities and commercial return. Join the pre-forum Focus Day, and gain an insight into overcoming the challenges of supplying small scale LNG in the Caribbean.
