Supply also comes from the Agua Dulce hub in South Texas via the Valley Crossing pipeline. CFE transports volumes on the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan pipeline At peak operations, Fast LNG is expected to add around 0.18 Bcf/d in feed gas demand to the U.S. market from the Waha hub NGI’s Waha spot

Altamira began shipping cargoes earlier in the year sending volumes to the Pichilingue terminal on Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula in September and a full shipment to the Netherlands in October Since then, NFE has been working through some operational issues disclosed in November as crews aim to ramp up the 1.4 million ton/year nameplate (Mt/y) unit to full production capacity Wood Mackenzie analysts highlighted an influx of Texas natural gas imports to the facility through the Sur de Texas that appeared to become more consistent through November and December “According to our North America LNG analytics team Fast LNG 1 had a seven-day average net feedgas of approximately 190 MMcf/d and an inventory of 900 MMcf/d,” analysts wrote The added demand from Altamira helped boost overall flows on the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan system to an average of 1.1 Bcf/d in December “making for the strongest surge it has ever seen in December.” The previous highpoint for southward flows on the pipeline in November and December was between 900-950 MMcf/d in 2023 Natural gas spot prices at Tuxpan via Sur de Texas have been falling since reaching a monthly high of $3.724/MMBtu on Dec Prices bounced closer to that at $3.674 on Monday The majority of those volumes have been sent to NFE-operated import facilities in the Caribbean Developing LNG projects in Mexico have helped add to surging U.S Mexico has around 42 Mt/y of proposed LNG export capacity in various stages of development These projects are expected to be supplied by U.S With commissioning for the first phase of Sempra

designed to be low-cost compared to onshore stick build projects and intended to be quickly deployed After the Fast LNG units were installed on a modified jackup rig at a Texas shipyard the facility achieved first gas roughly a year after it set sail for the Altamira coast A second unit is currently under construction and is planned to be installed at the CFE-owned onshore facility in Altamira NFE last targeted the start of commercial operations for the second unit by early 2026 However, the company recently disclosed it was looking to trim its debts by negotiating with credit holders and exploring equity partnerships or asset sales to boost earnings Wood Mackenzie analysts said NFE’s timeline is theoretically attainable considering the rollout of its first Fast LNG unit but it was modeling a likely startup for the second unit in the latter half of 2026 we tend to be more conservative about its lead time considering Mexico’s prevailing technical and non-technical risks,”

work is your sophomore effort first projects are the manifestation of young dreams require more forethought and planning in order to capture that same originality and energy But that doesn’t make it impossible.  It’s been two years since Diego Alcantar opened Tuxpan Taqueria in Central Falls and a year since the restaurant was nominated for a James Beard semifinalist award for Best New Restaurant It’s been a family affair since its inception but the family extends far beyond who’s in the kitchen Tuxpan is a cultural representation of Michoacán Mexico — the home state that Alcantar left when he was young and which he continues to articulate one dish at a time.  Much of Tuxpan’s menu centers on street food — portable bites that are long to braise and quick to serve It’s in the panoply of textures and the intensity of flavor that Tuxpan is revealed and because tacos and sandwiches are so accessible — even in New England — the enthusiasm has been widespread But here’s the thing about food that’s fast: It disappears so quickly that diners spend more time in the memory of it than the experience.  Alcantar’s latest iteration of Michoacán food It’s housed in Oberlin’s original locale on Union Street a space that Libby Slader has transformed from idiosyncratic to earnest The walls are a rich teal blue with an explosion of blooming flowers over the bar in a mural by Greg Pennisten Tilework and terra cotta dinnerware dominate the aesthetic along with a series of framed lottery cards on the walls and that’s a pretty good reflection of Alcantar’s culinary vision.  The crowd is about as diverse as it gets in Providence — age orientation and identity are represented across the spectrum and that reflects an intentionally welcoming threshold Alcantar’s business model is entirely rooted in family: behind the stove at the front of the house and walking in the door.  Ask anyone working for a recommendation and you’re in stellar hands The bartender has a story for every cocktail the pastry chef is occasionally moonlighting as a server and the servers will tell you that they grew up on this food If people joke that Rhode Islanders are all six degrees of separation from each other then Cielito just added the sister city of Tuxpan into the mix of extended neighbors.  Though the taqueria menu makes an appearance during lunch hours dinner is dominated by drinks and dishes that require both cutlery and your attention but even the cocktails use flowers and juicy sodas — hibiscus Three Cents grapefruit — to make technicolor tequila It’s part of the reason that diners are so varied: Partaking or sober Cielito wants the whole family at the table and offers everyone the same pathway to a nightly celebration.  Framed lottery cards and guitars line a teal-colored wall much of the menu appears misleadingly humble quesadillas and guacamole have become so familiar to American diners that they expect to know the dish before it even arrives Diego’s mother and the de facto bigwig in the kitchen is to find the sublime balance between acidity sweetness and salt inherent in her ingredients.  corn tamales hold their sweetness against tomato salsa ($13) and ensalada de nopal ($13) is a melange of opposing texture Where she does upend the system entirely is in her dough There’s a delicacy to each that shifts a diner’s attention away from the obvious stars — cheese and meat — and toward the base that’s holding it all together it’s the absolute necessity of making pasta by hand enabling the simplest ingredients to sing instead of speak.  Mole de olla served with guacamole and tostadas But the undisputed queen of any evening is mole de olla ($35) a stew-like dish that oozes romanticism in the same way an Esquivel novel does An unctuous short rib keeps company with soft potatoes and green beans — a trio that tastes like comfort to so many cultures But it’s the guajillo pepper broth that charms and beguiles The name deceives in that it’s a soup rather than a sauce sitting in the crossroads of savory and tangy and worth picking up the bowl to drink it down.  If main courses are Cielito’s sincerest expression of identity it’s still worth exploring the desserts Most dishes are hot (Mexican hot chocolate and tamalitos or Mexican coffee with conchitas) or cold — in the form of ice cream and popsicles The most surprising option is a bowl of finely chopped fruit and onions with orange juice and chili powder ($12) — which eats less like a dessert and more like the snack you’d grab walking down a city street in summer.  But everyone gravitates toward the tres leches cake ($12) which comes piped with cream and a minute pitcher of corn or chocolate milk alongside to pour over the top It’s a departure from tradition but it places Diego Alcantar and his burgeoning sphere of influence exactly where he thrives — between history and tomorrow’s food 186 Union St., Providence, instagram.com/cielitomexicankitchen Enchiladas verdes served with agua de Jamaica CUISINE: Regional and modern Mexican.  CAPACITY: Forty in the dining room and bar.  PRICES: Small plates: $9-$14; larger plates: $24-$35; dessert: $9-$12.  Why you should go: To have a traditional but refined Mexican dining experience with your partner or a crew Or to smash tacos while sitting at the bar The backstory: Cielito opened in late August 2024 The name comes from a well-known mariachi song by Vicente Fernández and was also the name of Alcantar’s parents' grocery store in Mexico “Cielito provided for those in need in our community,” said Alcantar ‘God will multiply it for you,’ and even today our family continues to live by her saying.” Before opening Tuxpan Taqueria, Alcantar was the executive sous chef at Avenue N He now serves as the executive chef at Cielito while his mom has continued cooking at Tuxpan Taqueria What to eat: Cielito serves traditional Mexican cuisine from the central-west region of Michoacán but the al pastor tacos are made with pineapple for a juicy bite a toasted corn snack that you can usually find at street vendors or at local markets a traditional Mexican stew made with guajillo broth a 12-ounce braised short rib in guajillo pepper broth Alcantar’s Mojarra en Tamal is the day’s selection of local fish wrapped in a corn husk It’s served with a side salad and molcajete salsa Don’t forget dessert: Try the tres leches with your choice of elote milk or abuelita chocolate milk if you’re staying for something sweet Or grab a few paletas de fresas con crema (housemade strawberry and cream popsicles) and walk around downtown What to drink: If you’re not drinking alcohol or an aqua de Jamaica (made with hibiscus flowers) try any of their margaritas (the partida blanco margarita is prepared with butterfly pea flower The Oaxacan old fashioned is a smoky riff on the original where a bartender stirs el tequileno reposado with a doba-yej mezcal and a flamed orange peel and serves it over one ice cube in a rocks glass Final say: The restaurants along Grant’s Block in downtown Providence already had ample culinary chops but Cielito has certainly solidified the area as one of the state’s top dining destinations 186 Union St., Providence, R.I., 401-563-7026, cielitomexicankitchen.com Tacos $5-$6; small plates $9-$14; entrées $21-$35; desserts $5-$12; non-alcoholic offerings $4.5-$6; cocktails

his departure could not be just any day because only great men decide when to leave and how to continue fighting Fidel would not leave Tuxpan or sail to Cuba; he would sail to immortality That is why he is here with us today;

contacts related to companies and projects news and interviews about your industry in English The federal government has dealt another blow to private companies in Mexico’s energy sector The Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) has shut down three privately owned fuel storage terminals in the last month and a half a move that will likely benefit the state oil company Pemex The terminals are used to import fuels such as gasoline and diesel and are located in Tuxpan CEO of the consultancy firm PetroIntelligence said the reasons for the closures were not entirely clear unnamed energy sector sources cited by the newspaper Reforma claim that the government is seeking to link private companies to the distribution and sale of illegal fuel “The government wants to return to a gasoline monopoly,” the sources said referring to the situation in Mexico before the 2013 energy reform The CRE temporarily closed the Monterra Energy terminal in Tuxpan on September 13 Owned by the United States-based global investment firm KKR the terminal imports fuel transported on ships owned by companies such as Total previously closed the IEnova terminal in Puebla CRE personnel accompanied by the National Guard last week carried out an inspection of another private terminal in Tuxpan where some 80% of gasoline consumed in Mexico enters the country The CRE officials temporarily prevented a ship from offloading fuel at the Invex terminal adding that the vessel was placed under a closure order because it allegedly didn’t have the appropriate permits “… They put a closed seal on the boat but that boat was adhering to international legislation and it managed to unload in the end,” a source with knowledge of the matter told Reforma Pemex gas stations would benefit from a restriction on imports the Energy Ministry subsequently canceled five import permits the ship had obtained to bring fuel such as diesel The ship was allegedly conducting business with companies that don’t have the required permits to operate in Mexico’s energy industry Alicia Zazueta of the oil sector firm eServices described the government’s closure of terminals and the revocation of permits as discretional suggesting that it is targeting private companies arbitrarily The cancellation of permits and the closure of terminals will limit fuel supply options and return control of the market to Pemex a lawyer with Holland & Knight who specializes in energy matters said it was clear that the government is intent on returning the state oil company to a dominant position in the market which was opened up to private and foreign companies by former president Enrique Peña Nieto there is a risk that Pemex won’t be able to satisfy market demand a shortage was created by cutting private companies’ distribution networks … [because] the government didn’t have the capacity to supply the national market There is an enormous risk of falling into the same situation with fuel … [because] Pemex doesn’t have the capacity to supply the market,” Rodríguez said “Dogmatism has dictated energy policies in Mexico for three years,” he added referring roughly to the period President López Obrador – a staunch energy nationalist – has been in office That’s a fact,” said Montufar of PetroIntelligence The CRE’s actions could lead to fewer privately owned gas stations in Mexico and higher fuel prices “But that would be in a medium or long term scenario if we see the revocation of terminal permits,” Montafur said Since López Obrador – who has pledged to “rescue” Pemex and the state-owned Federal Electricity Commission from years of neglect – took office in late 2018, the government has enacted a range of policies designed to make the state a more prominent player in the energy sector Many have faced legal challenges from private companies, and some, including an Energy Ministry policy that imposed restrictive measures on the renewable sector, have been suspended by court order With reports from

involve the ability to run two servers at the same time with real data,” he said “One is your TOS which is your up to the minute functions of running a terminal you have another system running in parallel that allows you to play with the data without affecting operations That gives you the ability to do predictive planning.” The Manzanillo International Terminal (MIT) in Panama without

Electricity Commission (CFE) of Mexico and will become the country’s first subsea pipeline upon completion The pipline will help the southern region of the US to address its increasing demand for natural gas A joint venture (JV) between TransCanada (60%) and Sempra Energy’s Mexican unit IEnova (40%) known as Infraestructura Marina del Golfo (IMG) is constructing the project own and operate (BOO) contract from CFE in 2015 Construction of the pipeline commenced in the port of Altamira and completion is currently scheduled for late-2018 The underwater pipeline has been touted as one of the longest pipelines ever constructed by TransCanada in Mexico and will have a total length of 800km and a diameter of 42in It will include both onshore and offshore routes with the offshore portion being the longest The pipeline will start off the shore of the Gulf of Mexico It will have a capacity to transport 2.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day and will interconnect with a number of other proposed pipelines including Nueces-Brownsville gas pipeline and Tuxpan-Tula gas pipeline The pipeline is also expected to link up with an existing network in Cenagas’s pipeline system in Altamira Two compression stations based at Altamira port and Matamoros port in the Tamaulipas state Altamira port will serve as the production and logistics centre for the project The port’s ballast pipe construction plant will manufacture approximately 55,000 pieces of concrete-lined steel pipes for use along the pipeline The pipeline will primarily transport gas to power plants operated by CFE in the Mexican states of Tamaulipas and Veracruz Central and Western regions of the country It will also supply natural gas to several power generation plants that are scheduled for construction as well as existing facilities currently operating on fuel oil which will be converted into natural gas-powered plants Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation (NSSMC) collaborated with Mitsui to secured a contract for the delivery of 600,000t of steel pipe for the project The deal includes the supply of 390km-long large-diameter welded steel pipe weighing 350,000t and a 36mm-thick plate with outside diameter of 42in that weighs approximately 250,000t Both the pipe and the plate will be pipeformed by Mexican steel maker Tubacero A $300m pipeline coating contract was awarded to Shawcor which will carry out the work at two coating plants in Altamira Matthews Daniel was contracted to provide marine warranty survey (MWS) for the development The MWS will include the conduction of vessel suitability surveys for the pipe-lay vessels It will also feature a review of all engineering studies and procedures related to the transportation and installation of the coated pipeline Allseas is

your business an edge with our leading industry insights View all newsletters from across the GlobalData Media network Over 60 ships carrying an estimated 18 million barrels of fuel are currently waiting at sea off the Mexican coast as they are unable to unload due to a lack of storage space the news agency reported Monday that the majority of the ships are transporting gasoline and diesel imported by Pemex The vast majority of fuel Mexico imports comes from the United States It isn’t clear where off the coast of Mexico these waiting ships are located or if they’re all located in the same area the ship tracking site Marine Traffic’s live map currently shows the highest agglomeration of tanker ships off the coast of Mexico in the Gulf of Mexico near the ports of Tuxpan and Coatzacoalcos — both in Veracruz — and also at the port of Tampico All three ports are major receivers of gasoline imports The Bloomberg sources said that Pemex is covering the bulk of some US $2.4 million per day in delay fees charged by the ships The tankers impose penalties of approximately $40,000 each for every day they are held up One source told Bloomberg that the current backlog is three times higher than normal The news agency said “the congestion at sea is the result of several compounding factors in addition to a lack of available storage.” Pemex has recently increased its fuel purchases in order to meet higher demand as the pandemic eases (even though Mexico is facing a worsening fifth wave) and to stock up before the worst of the hurricane season The state oil company’s trading unit and other fuel importers are making use of government subsidies to cheapen imports The news agency also observed that increased imports are required because Mexico’s six refineries are operating at less than 50% capacity amid maintenance Pemex imported more fuel in June than any other month this year with a total of approximately 888,000 barrels brought into the country Gasoline purchases increased 17% compared to May while diesel imports were up 34% a downstream director at financial information company S&P Global in Los Angeles said it made sense for Pemex to “err on the side of caution to secure supplies because if a hurricane strikes the Gulf of Mexico Mexico’s domestic gasoline inventories are “a bit tight,” he said noting that stock is only sufficient to meet nine or 10 days of demand According to the Energy Information Administration maintains inventories to meet 25.8 days of demand The approximately 60 ships waiting to unload are carrying enough fuel to meet about 60% of Mexico’s monthly demand The Bloomberg sources said the last time so many oil tankers were sitting off the Mexican coast waiting to unload was in early 2020 when Pemex declared force majeure on import contracts due to plummeting demand for fuel amid the onset of the coronavirus pandemic With reports from Bloomberg and Reforma  Bnamericas Published: Thursday, April 11, 2024

Immediately after graduating high school, he began working for Avenue N as a dishwasher he worked his way up to executive sous chef of the company he was working toward one goal: to open his own restaurant by his 30th birthday he drove by a tiny spot on the corner of Broad and Clay streets in Central Falls but had been a Honey Dew donut shop with a drive-through at one point a check cashing business and an eyebrow-threading station at another But about a year ago, he took a chance and signed a five-year lease on the building. After months of manual labor to bring the building up to code — nearly all done by himself and his family members — he opened Tuxpan Taqueria in December It’s a family affair: Alcantar is typically behind the line as executive chef his 17-year-old sister and his girlfriend run the floor and serve guests his Gordita ($7) has quickly become one of the taqueria’s best sellers The menu might be simple with fresh and classic ingredients but Alcantar has big plans: He told me he plans on re-opening the building’s drive-through by summertime and then wants to expand their late-night hours with a smaller menu on weekends he wants to have more locations throughout the state particularly on the East Side of Providence was once a haven for small businesses owned by locals but it has transformed into a commercial haven with chains like Shake Shack and retail stores like Urban Outfitters Alcantar said it’s time to bring the street back to its roots — where a taqueria can “transport you to Mexico without really going.” Alcantar points to his mom as the backbone of the business ”She’s the reason for all of this,” he said during an interview in the corner of the taqueria one recent afternoon It all started in the kitchen on Saturday and Sunday mornings with my mom.” Tuxpan Taqueria is located at 355 Broad St. in Central Falls, Rhode Island. 401-722-1620.

The startup would come on the heels of the cancellation of the tender for a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) in the Pajaritos port in Veracruz a joint venture with Sempra Energy’s Mexico unit was partially invaded by water because of storms last year and is coming online a few months after initially projected Jones said while the new pipeline is underpinned by the needs of Mexican state electricity company Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE) there was “some potential to expand capacity” for other parties As further evidence that Sur de Texas-Tuxpan is soon to be in-service system that feeds the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan line issued a notice on its electronic bulletin board on Wednesday that "nominations are now open through 2/28/2019.""That's not likely a coincidence considering bidweek starts on Friday," noted Patrick Rau monthly gas transactions occur during bidweek which spans the final five trading days of a month for flow the following month."The gas won't necessarily flow into Sur de Texas on Feb but it is entirely possible for flows to start on that date," Rau said The pipeline eventually is to connect to the 886 MMcf/d Tuxpan-Tula and Tula-Villa de Reyes pipelines, allowing plentiful Texan gas to flow to industry and power generators in central Mexico. Both these projects, however, have experienced heavy delays and the exact startup of each remains uncertain “The Tuxpan-Tula stretch has two segments that are waiting on indigenous consultations by energy ministry (Sener),” Jones said “our plan is that hopefully in the short term we can meet the needs of clients until Tuxpan-Tula is ready.” The Tula-Villa de Reyes segment is delayed as the National Institute of Anthropology and History, or INAH, inspects archaeological remains along its route “We plan to put the pipes online in phases during the course of the year,” Jones said Originally slated to come online in late 2017 Tula-Villa de Reyes is expected to be in service by the second half of 2019 it is uncertain whether the delayed portions in the state of Hidalgo will be completed as originally proposed Hidalgo is the same state that saw a deadly gasoline pipeline explosion last Friday (Jan TransCanada has been receiving fixed capacity payments for both Tuxpan-Tula and Tula-Villa de Reyes since 1Q2018 under a force majeure clause from the pipelines’ anchor customer Although Mexico has added 4,639 kilometers (2,882 miles) of natural gas pipelines since 2012, several important projects still face delays, mostly because of local opposition. Also delayed are Fermaca’s 1.2 Bcf/d La Laguna-Aguascalientes and 0.9 Bcf/d Villa de Reyes-Aguascalientes-Guadalajara (VAG) pipelines and Carso Energy's 472 MMcf/d Samalayuca-Sasabe pipeline “The biggest challenges to pipelines getting built in Mexico are permitting and rule of law TransCanada Mexico’s Rolando Martínez D Meza business development and marketing manager voiced a similar opinion at the conference in Monterrey you are going to face opposition,” he said “You have to work with the government and the companies involved in explaining the benefits of these projects to the communities A lot of times the opposition party will take control and convince communities not to continue.” As part of the company’s significant infrastructure expansion into Mexico, in early January TransCanada announced its intention to change its name to TC Energy “to better reflect the scope of the company’s operations as a leading North American energy infrastructure company.” Christopher was

Calleja Forecasts for Mexico’s natural gas demand suggest imports should continue to grow in 2025 the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) announced yesterday that it had filed requests for arbitration in courts in the United Kingdom and France to annul clauses in seven gas pipeline contracts The CFE said it had lodged preliminary claims to void certain clauses in contracts with the companies Fermaca IEnova and TC Energy (formerly TransCanada Corporation) The public utility said last week that it wished to negotiate a “fairer” outcome to contract disputes President López Obrador has described the terms of the contracts with the pipeline construction companies as “abusive” to the state The CFE has previously said that it will have to pay 16 billion pesos (US $840 million) to the operators of the seven pipelines this year even though the projects are not yet operational as they have faced delays due to community opposition The London Court of International Arbitration has been asked to hear six cases while the mediation of the International Court of Arbitration in Paris has been sought in one The legal action relates to contracts for the pipelines Tuxpan-Tula (TC Energy); Tula-Villa de Reyes (TC Energy); Samalayuca-Sásabe (Carso); Guaymas-El Oro (IEnova); La Laguna-Aguascalientes (Fermaca); Villa de Reyes-Aguascalientes-Guadalajara (Fermaca); and Texas-Tuxpan (TC Energy/IEnova) the United States Chamber of Commerce (USCC) criticized the CFE for seeking to nullify clauses in the contract for the submarine gas line between Texas and Tuxpan a US $2.5-billion project that was completed last month The USCC said in a statement that President López Obrador pledged at the United States-Mexico CEO Dialogue in Mérida It also said that there are “few factors more critical to investment and economic growth than the legal certainty and predictability fostered by the respect for the rule of law.” we are concerned by CFE’s decision to seek arbitration to nullify several key terms of the contract with the owners of the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan pipeline a key infrastructure project that would contribute to economic development and job creation in the states of southern Mexico,” the USCC said “This action risks sending a negative signal to U.S and other international investors about the business and investment climate in Mexico We therefore urge CFE and the government of Mexico to reconsider this decision and to observe the president’s pledge to honor the sanctity of existing contracts.” Canada’s ambassador to Mexico said last week that he was “deeply concerned” about the CFE’s decision to take legal action aimed at nullifying clauses in the contract for the Texas-Tuxpan line Pierre Alarie charged that the move showed that “despite López Obrador’s statements Mexico doesn’t want to respect gas pipeline contracts.” Fitch Ratings said the pursuit of arbitration was “credit-negative” for the CFE the companies involved and the energy sector in general The president said last week that the government would seek to reach an agreement with Canada’s TC Energy while the CFE announced yesterday that it had begun talks with Fermaca “All the companies have agreed to talk about the contracts Today we met with Fermaca to determine how to negotiate,” said CFE spokesman Luis Bravo He added that the discussions will take place in parallel to the international arbitration process The two parties agreed to meet again on July 12 president of the Business Coordinating Council said that he had reached an agreement with López Obrador to hold conciliation sessions between representatives of the government and the four companies subject to the CFE legal action “We had a very friendly meeting with the president [and] we came to the conclusion that we are going to favor dialogue we’re going to form a conciliation board to try to put aside the legal problem and to try to reach a solution that benefits everyone,” he said The business leader explained that the president will decide who represents the government and that he and Mexican Business Council president Antonio del Valle will put together a team to act in the interests of Fermaca Although Salazar acknowledged that the CFE will continue to pursue the international arbitration processes it has initiated he asserted that “we’re going to try to find meeting points instead of being in a legal dispute that doesn’t benefit anyone.” Source: El Economista (sp), Reuters (en), Milenio (sp) Sempra Energy's Mexican subsidiary IEnova has seen fourth quarter

[Fuel] inventory levels are becoming increasingly worrying it’s an issue that Pemex and the Secretariat of Energy have to resolve quickly,” he said But federal Energy Secretary Rocio Nahle denied yesterday that there is a problem at the nation’s ports “We are not aware of an issue in the unloading of gasoline López Obrador accepted that there are tankers “waiting” at some ports but he rejected the claim that they are stranded “It’s only in Coatzacoalcos and Tuxpan,” the president told reporters yesterday At his daily press conference this morning the president pledged that the situation at Mexico’s ports and gas stations would return to normal soon we’re buying 600,000 barrels [of gasoline] a day .Ships are constantly coming into the maritime terminals That’s why I say that we don’t have a gasoline shortage problem The only issue is one of distribution to the interior of the country due to sabotage of the pipelines and the decision to no longer allow the theft of fuel.” Source: Milenio (sp)  Bnamericas Published: Friday, August 05, 2022 Natural Gas Gas pipelines Greenpeace Mexico announced the arrival of the Arctic Sunrise at a press conference in the port of Veracruz in Mexico The ship will remain in Mexican waters from May 13th to June 5th to conduct research on the Veracruz reefs and launch its campaign Mar adentro mar afuera (“The open sea – the sea outside”) against the Sur de Texas Tuxpan Pipeline that will bring US fossil gas into the country Greenpeace México Climate & Energy campaigner: “The planned Sur de Texas Tuxpan will serve a blow to President Obrador’s stated agenda we are forgoing our energy sovereignty and sacrificing some of the poorest communities from both countries who are immediately at risk of pollution and losing their livelihood planned in the heart of a massive coral reef this pipeline would turn Mexico’s ambitious climate and biodiversity targets into pipe dreams.” joined by researchers of the University of Veracruz will document the current state of the reef in the central and northern areas of the State of Veracruz – an understudied ecosystem that remains outside designated protected areas The planned construction of the Sur de Texas Tuxpan Pipeline a gas pipeline that aims to connect Texas with Tuxpan is a project of CFE (Mexican Federal Commission of Electricity) TC Energy (formerly TransCanada) and the U.S It threatens the reef ecosystems of the region and the coastal communities that depend on them “The oil and gas industry has lit a fuse on the US’s largest carbon bomb that threatens to blow away any hope of a livable future This gas already devastates communities in Texas and Louisiana where it is extracted and transported increasing cancer rates and respiratory issues they want to pipe this toxic gas through the Veracruz reef a fragile ecosystem already stressed by the climate emergency Greenpeace is joining the communities on the frontline of this planned pipeline in demanding the immediate cancellation of the project.” “TC Energy has a history of violating the rights of local communities and destroying the environment They’re currently building a pipeline through unceded Indigenous territory in Canada and this is another example of how they blatantly disregard the devastating local and global impacts of fossil fuel expansion.” storage and burning of gas has led to explosions and leaks such as the Eye of Fire in the Mexican Gulf as well as negative health impacts for communities around areas of extraction in the U.S Gas is the most consumed source of energy in Mexico but over 70% of it is already imported from the U.S. making the country’s energy mix ever more vulnerable to events like the Texas’ cold wave which left the country without gas or electricity. Fossil gas is one of the main sources of methane emissions in the energy sector The science is clear: no new fossil developments are compatible with the threshold of maintaining global temperatures below 1.5°C (34.7F) The construction of fossil infrastructure also represents a serious risk to marine ecosystems Disclaimer : The information contained in this website is for general information purposes only While we endeavour to keep the information up to date and correct we make no representations or warranties of any kind suitability or availability with respect to the website or the information or related graphics contained on the website for any purpose Any reliance you place on such information is therefore strictly at your own risk In no event will we be liable for any loss or damage including without limitation or any loss or damage whatsoever arising from loss of data or profits arising out of Do you have info to share with us ?

(Reuters) — Mexico's state power utility has struck a deal with Canada's TC Energy Corp to develop a natural gas pipeline in the country's south and consolidate the firm's contracts in the central region The pact appeared to mark a rare moment of agreement after months of dispute between energy companies and Mexico which said such firms had benefited from contracts that put an unfair burden on taxpayers The new pipeline in the south will start in Tuxpan in the Mexican state of Veracruz and run by sea to link with the Mayakan pipeline in the states of Campeche and Tabasco "The agreement aims to solve a long-running problem of the lack of natural gas supply in the Mexican southeast and the Yucatan peninsula," the Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE) said in a statement The pact also says Mexico will step up efforts to help TC Energy complete the Tuxpan-Tula pipeline after work stalled over concerns the project would cut across lands local communities consider sacred Last year, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador had suggested re-routing the 178-mile (286-km) pipeline but the utility did not say how it would resolve the matter "The CFE has agreed with TC Energy that it will take a more active role that will allow for solving social conflicts and completing the Tuxpan-Tula pipeline," it said Bundling together TC Energy's contracts in central Mexico would generate savings for the utility In 2019, Lopez Obrador's government said it had persuaded TC Energy and other pipeline developers to waive significant profits from deals signed under the previous administration after renegotiating the contracts One of our administrators will review your comment before posting it onto the website Subscribe to BuzzFeed Daily NewsletterCaret Down10 Things To Know About The First Indigenous Woman To Run For President Of MexicoMaria de Jesús Patricio Martínez aims to be the sixth female candidate and the first indigenous woman to run for president of Mexico by Susie ArmitageBuzzFeed Global Managing Editor The National Indigenous Congress (CNI) and the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) chose her to represent them and she was elected by the agreement of all the indigenous towns The CNI first announced in 2016 that it intended to run a woman candidate (The masks, by the way, are a symbol of the Zapatista indigenous rights movement and are meant both to keep its members anonymous and evoke indigenous Mexicans' status as invisible and faceless.) an candidate not running in one of Mexico's major political parties must get the signatures of 1% of the country's nominal elector list representing at least 17 of Mexico's 32 states Activist Rosario Ibarra de Piedra was the first woman to run in 1982 Josefina Vázquez Mota became the woman to win the most votes in Mexican history in 2012 with almost 13 million ballots cast for her — but she still lost "It looks like indigenous women do nothing but we have always been part of this process of continuous struggle it's just that the outside has not acknowledged it much," Marichuy has said If she is able to get the independent nomination María de Jesús Patricio Martínez will be the first indigenous woman to ever run for president in Mexico This post was translated from Spanish Susie ArmitageBuzzFeed Global Managing Editor Petróleos Mexicanos and the company SSA de México have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to assess the possibility of an association for the development of oil port infrastructure in the port of Tuxpan The agreement was signed by the General Director of Pemex José Antonio González Anaya and the co-president of Grupo Carrix and president of SSA México This agreement considers the analysis of a project in which SSA will adapt one of its anchoring positions for the receipt of oil and petrol products so that Pemex can use it as well as the building of a duct that will connect this terminal to the Storage and Dispatch Terminal that Pemex has in Tuxpan the possibility that SSA México may build a terminal with two fixed anchoring positions on Pemex-owned land A work plan is currently being defined in this regard which will include the implementation cost analysis for the stages of the project as well as the elements needed to enter into a binding agreement to the satisfaction of both parties Source: Pemex Comment *
