Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Monday that Mexico is exploring ways to reduce its reliance on US natural gas and strengthen energy self-sufficiency.
Speaking at her daily press conference, Sheinbaum acknowledged that the country currently depends on “very cheap” US gas, but noted that long-term import contracts—some lasting up to 20 years—cannot be immediately canceled, Xinhua reported.
She said state-owned oil company Pemex has formed a working group, coordinated with the Mexican Petroleum Institute, to study less environmentally harmful options and alternative methane sources, including landfills and biomass.
