Mexico City Launches Project To Produce Electricity From Biogas Emissions At Recently Closed Landfill, Carlos Navarro Mar 2012

Mexico City Launches Project To Produce Electricity From Biogas Emissions At Recently Closed Landfill, Carlos Navarro

NotiEn: An Analytical Digest About Energy Issues in Latin America

Mexico City Mayor Marcel Ebrard Casaubón has unveiled a bold plan to use biogas emissions from the recently closed Bordo Poniente landfill to produce electricity for street lighting and the subway system in the Mexican capital. Even as Ebrard is moving forward with the project, the mayor must respond to a complaint from the federal water commission (Comisión Nacional del Agua, CONAGUA), which alleges that the Mexico City government has allowed hazardous materials from the landfill to filter into the ground and the air.

Tension Continues Between Bolivian President Evo Morales And Native People, Andrés Gaudín

NotiEn: An Analytical Digest About Energy Issues in Latin America

The appearance of pockets of the Bolivian indigenous population who are withdrawing the support that they have always given the administration of President Evo Morales has given the political right some cause for celebration. After six years in the opposition, the old structures that historically dominated and led the country have been unable to reinvent themselves, to create a new party, or to generate a program capable of attracting citizens and presenting itself as a valid alternative to the governing Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS). But the emergence of indigenous leaders who, for various reasons, broke with their former leader is …

Will The Argentine Government Hinder Shale Investment?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor Feb 2012

Will The Argentine Government Hinder Shale Investment?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor

Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports

In recent weeks, the Argentine government has faced off with the country's largest energy company, Repsol's YPF, blaming the increase in fuel imports on a lack of investment from YPF and other producers. Despite a previously good relationship, the government has threatened to nationalize YPF and banned it from exporting until a tax was paid, while the company has blocked politicians from its board meeting. Meanwhile, on Feb. 24, Argentine provinces demanded that energy firms raise their oil and natural gas output by 15 percent in the next two years or risk losing their concessions. Does the Argentine government's contentious …

NotiEn: An Analytical Digest About Energy Issues in Latin America

The Gran Marcha Nacional por el Derecho al Agua y la Vida (Great National March for the Right to Water and Life) was interpreted as a demand for government coherence. Hundreds of people marched from the northern Andean department of Cajamarca to the capital to express their opposition to any extractive activity that threatens the ecosystems and water resources. On Feb. 1, about 1,000 campesinos and representatives of groups defending water rights left from the area of the lakes that will be most affected by the Conga project, a US $4.8 billion undertaking to extract gold and copper, which will …

"El Agua No Se Vende: Water Is Not For Sale!" The Latin American Water Tribunal As A Model For Advancing Access To Water, Mikita A. Weaver

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

At the international level, water is now understood to be a basic human right. However, conflict continues to intensify surrounding indigenous people's access to water as the resource becomes scarcer. In particular, this paper will examine the struggle of indigenous people in Latin America and the creation of the Latin American Water Tribunal (LAWT) as a solution. Section II will describe the LAWT, including the formation of the tribunal, case selection, and the structure of the public hearing. Section III will discuss both how the LAWT overcomes problems with the current legal system and the success of the tribunal as …

Mexico, U.S. Reach Landmark Agreement On Deepwater Oil Exploration, Carlos Navarro

NotiEn: An Analytical Digest About Energy Issues in Latin America

In an unprecedented act of cooperation in the energy sector, the US and Mexican governments signed an agreement establishing a framework for US energy companies to work jointly with the state run oil company PEMEX to develop oil and gas resources in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The agreement eases a dispute between Mexico and the US about ownership of reserves along a common boundary in the Gulf of Mexico, potentially opening more than 1 million acres to deepwater drilling. Mexico was extremely concerned that drilling by US companies could siphon off reserves on the Mexican side …
