Abstract

This paper analyzes the impact of a comprehensive approach to the Natural Gas Value Chain (NGVC) policy for the massification of its residential use in the Peruvian case. To this end, a characterization of the critical elements of the NGVC is developed, the main barriers and opportunities are identified, and the advantages of an integrated approach to its exploitation are discussed. This discussion is based on the systematization of information from specialized sources of the sector, the comparative international experience and the results of a case study developed with emphasis on the logistic supply of natural gas (NG) installation companies in Peru. Based on the results, four conclusions are drawn. First, the technological conditions available for NG processing, transportation and distribution are consistent with a high potential for massification. Second, the policy approach to massification has serious limitations, partly due to the emphasis on only some consumption sectors, such as residential and commercial. Third, in considering the comprehensiveness of NGVC, the importance of key components has been overemphasized, including NG transportation and distribution. This inattention explains the failure of various legislative initiatives to promote massification. Fourth, the contribution of a comprehensive approach to NGVC in promoting potential effects on massification is emphasized, both from international comparative experience and from case studies in Peru.
