[00:00:00] The experts are working on the type of [00:00:03] technologies will also evidently be something to take into [00:00:06] account. Thank you very much, Madam President. If you could also explain [00:00:10] in more detail what are the scientific [00:00:12] conditions, what are the conditions eh to [00:00:15] consider that yes, in certain states like [00:00:18] Coahuila and why [00:00:20] interested sectors, in not in states like Tampico? [00:00:23] Well, Veracruz mainly and the [00:00:26] southern part of Tamaulipas, eh. [00:00:30] First, the type of [00:00:31] ecosystems, [00:00:34] the population there, which are densely populated areas [00:00:38] and [00:00:41] it was considered that due to environmental and social conditions, according [00:00:45] to what the experts explained to us, that [00:00:48] area should prohibit the exploitation of unconventional [00:00:51] gas and start analyzing [00:00:55] in the other [00:00:57] basins and yes, but I don't know if you want to [00:01:01] talk about this, Doctor, or Leti, [00:01:03] Doctora [00:01:08] no, thanks for the question and and thanks for the President's [00:01:12] sensitivity. It was suggested to prohibit [00:01:16] exploitation in Tampico Misantla because it is, as the [00:01:19] President said, a densely [00:01:22] populated area, an area where there is a high indigenous presence, [00:01:26] in addition to Veracruz and Tamaulipas. This [00:01:30] includes the Huasteca in San Luis Potosí, the Sierra, part of the northern Sierra of [00:01:34] Puebla, this population that [00:01:37] depends highly on the territory, that [00:01:39] has a millennial occupation of the [00:01:44] conclusion of territory, this and well, these territories have high [00:01:48] environmental, social, cultural value, so that's why we [00:01:52] made this suggestion, [00:01:55] and we are very happy that it was accepted [00:01:58] by the President. Thank [00:02:00] you very much, [00:02:03] Madam President, was all the [00:02:06] international experience on this [00:02:08] matter analyzed? Yes, I don't know if anyone wants to comment, if the [00:02:12] international experience was analyzed, go ahead. [00:02:25] Yes, of course, the best practices of the [00:02:29] main countries [00:02:32] in that have developed this type of [00:02:35] exploitation were analyzed, mainly, of course, the United [00:02:38] States, Canada and Argentina, [00:02:41] mainly, and and, let's say, the last [00:02:45] years, which would be the last 5 years, to see the [00:02:49] innovations that have been made in this [00:02:52] matter, especially technically, and the [00:02:55] innovations that have been made to be able [00:02:57] to consider this. let's say the last [00:03:01] few years [00:03:03] and the innovations that have been made. [00:03:06] Thank you very much, finally on this topic, [00:03:09] Madam President, I would like to ask if there are environmental risks due to experimental [00:03:12] drilling to search for this saltwater, and in case [00:03:16] it is extracted, if there are also environmental risks in case [00:03:20] it is drilled and not found. [00:03:23] Good, good morning again, let's see, no, [00:03:32] continue to accompany appropriate technologies [00:03:34] these drillings, which we call exploratory [00:03:39] just drillings, are not risky in any way, they [00:03:41] are wells that are made [00:03:44] basin no, in not to extract any type of fluid at the moment, simply to study the geology, the geological [00:03:48] formations at depth, to reach saltwater, take some samples [00:03:52] support, we'll and analyze the characteristics that saltwater entails, some [00:03:54] extraction tests are carried out to [00:03:58] determine hydraulic characteristics. but basically during [00:04:01] drilling, the intervals of the aquifers [00:04:05] that represent the primordial sources of drinking water are [00:04:09] sealed, so that, let's say, from the mechanical process of drilling the [00:04:12] well, these formations are sealed and integrity is given to the [00:04:16] shallow formations and the bottom formations are [00:04:19] studied, once it is determined that there is saltwater and its [00:04:23] characteristics, a decision will be made on whether [00:04:27] that exploratory well is closed or adapted [00:04:30] as a well to Thank [00:04:34] you very much, Madam President, if you allow me, on another [00:04:38] topic, I would like to ask about the rights of the audiences, Madam President, [00:04:42] we consider it [00:04:45] 70% of fundamental to highlight the [00:04:46] of 40 molecules, disinformation campaign that has surrounded this consultation, it is also [00:04:50] very relevant to emphasize that in its own documents, the [00:04:54] Chamber of the Radio and Television Industry unprecedentedly [00:04:58] recognizes that these guidelines do not constitute [00:05:02] an act of censorship, contrary to what has been [00:05:05] disseminated in various spaces. Textually, Madam President, the CIRT [00:05:08] in its statement says that it understands that the [00:05:12] position of the telecommunications regulatory commission is [00:05:16] not to censor, furthermore, the chamber itself [00:05:19] added that they understand and support the regulatory [00:05:23] mandate to advance on issues of audience [00:05:26] protection, eh, therefore, beyond the [00:05:29] noise generated by [00:05:33] confrontation and even by some media, a [00:05:36] unique moment of convergence would be opening [00:05:40] up for the benefit of people who consume [00:05:43] radio and television content, in this [00:05:46] context, Madam President, eh, how could this [00:05:50] recognition from the Sirt contribute to consolidating, for the first [00:05:53] time in the recent history of the country, a true [00:05:57] agenda in favor of the rights of [00:06:00] audiences, of the recognition that they are human [00:06:03] rights and that many times they have not been respected [00:06:07] and have been violated? If you agree, we [00:06:10] are going to dedicate today's conference to this [00:06:13] topic, [00:06:16] eh, this, we have already talked two days or three days about this [00:06:20] topic, and there is a lot of debate, [00:06:24] eh, this public consultation, the guidelines of the [00:06:27] commission and [00:06:30] the objective is to guarantee the rights of the audiences and as you rightly [00:06:34] say, the very chamber of the radio and television [00:06:37] industry has recognized, because it even [00:06:40] agreed when the law was voted, [00:06:44] so if you agree, today there will be several meetings, not only with the [00:06:48] chamber but with other groups, [00:06:52] so we will wait until next week for there to be a [00:06:57] or this same week maybe tomorrow and if [00:07:00] not next week of what the [00:07:04] final guidelines would be, from [00:07:07] then on the debate can continue without problem, if you [00:07:10] agree, thank you very much. [00:07:17] Let's see, on the topic, the colleague behind me [00:07:20] and then Liz over here after, good morning [00:07:24] to all, I am your servant Carlos Pozos, from [00:07:27] my channel lormolécula, my first question would be if with [00:07:31] this study the scientists [00:07:34] can now say that your [00:07:37] campaign promise of not using [00:07:41] fracking in the extraction of natural gas is being fulfilled, yes, [00:07:45] I never said it in the campaign as such, what we have [00:07:48] always stated [00:07:50] is that what we are looking for is [00:07:54] energy sovereignty guaranteeing [00:07:57] minimum environmental impacts, [00:08:01] that is the and social [00:08:04] justice, ultimately that is what we call [00:08:07] sustainable development, [00:08:09] it [00:08:12] is economic development, with social [00:08:15] justice and environmental [00:08:18] protection. So, within the [00:08:22] framework of energy sovereignty, [00:08:25] to avoid becoming increasingly [00:08:28] dependent on foreign countries, we [00:08:31] have publicly opened up the [00:08:35] possibility of using unconventional gas in certain areas [00:08:38] of the country, where social justice and [00:08:42] environmental impacts are guaranteed. [00:08:45] Where? Well, for now it has already been said in the [00:08:48] Tampico Misantla and no, we will [00:08:51] put it, we are going to decree that in that [00:08:57] the others it is feasible yes no, first [00:09:00] of all, we have to see if there is saltwater in the [00:09:03] subsoil before anything [00:09:05] else and see the feasibility of even [00:09:09] if there is gas, [00:09:12] while that happens we cannot say if we continue to advance, that's [00:09:16] why we go step by step and in this step [00:09:19] is eh [00:09:22] to guarantee that these [00:09:25] premises are met. [00:09:28] Now, [00:09:33] we already consume [00:09:35] unconventional gas. [00:09:42] The... 70% [00:09:45] of the gas consumed [00:09:46] in Mexico, this light we have [00:09:50] here today, [00:09:53] if we take it on average, [00:09:58] the light that illuminates us in this [00:10:00] room comes from unconventional [00:10:02] gas, [00:10:05] only not from Mexico, but from the United [00:10:07] States. That is something [00:10:11] fundamental. [00:10:14] And many of them are [00:10:16] with [00:10:20] practices from a long [00:10:23] time ago that do not record everything [00:10:26] we are considering now, so we [00:10:30] already consume it, only it is imported, [00:10:34] so within the framework of energy sovereignty, what should [00:10:38] we do responsibly? Protect communities, protect [00:10:41] people, protect the environment and see [00:10:45] if new technologies, new ones, because there is a lot of [00:10:48] scientific and technological development on this topic, allow [00:10:52] us to produce unconventional gas in Mexico, in certain [00:10:56] areas, now what do they tell us, before that, [00:10:59] make sure that you are going to take advantage of renewable [00:11:02] energy sources, that you are not going to burn gas [00:11:05] into the atmosphere, [00:11:07] that you are also going to seek the exploitation of conventional [00:11:10] gas in Mexico, that you are going [00:11:13] to use energy efficiently, so that is what we are putting [00:11:17] at your disposal [00:11:19] today, [00:11:21] and a fundamental part that has been [00:11:26] the framework of Mexico's history [00:11:29] is sovereignty, and sovereignty [00:11:33] requires energy sovereignty, at [00:11:35] least [00:11:38] to prevent us from becoming increasingly dependent [00:11:41] on foreign [00:11:43] countries, that is a goal of all countries in the [00:11:46] world, [00:11:49] look now, if the Dos Bocas refinery [00:11:52] had not been built, [00:11:55] we would be depending on imported gasoline [00:11:57] at a time when [00:12:00] there is a shortage [00:12:03] of imported gasoline in the world due to the conflict in [00:12:07] Iran, how have Japan, [00:12:11] South Korea, in short, many [00:12:15] countries, India, [00:12:17] fared, because it is not as readily [00:12:21] available as before, so the same, it is [00:12:25] viability for Mexico in the long term, guaranteeing [00:12:28] increasingly energy sovereignty, [00:12:31] like renewable energy sources, using increasingly [00:12:34] efficient energy, guaranteeing the [00:12:37] country's development, guaranteeing well-being [00:12:41] and seeing other sources guaranteeing minimum [00:12:44] environmental impacts. Eh, as a second question, [00:12:48] Madam President, Mexico has 181 [00:12:52] flare sites or... gas [00:12:55] flares, mainly in the states of Tabasco, Veracruz and [00:12:59] Tamaulipas, simply the Perdiz field in [00:13:02] Veracruz burned 559 million [00:13:05] cubic meters, [00:13:08] eh, would there be an estimate of [00:13:11] when Mexico, Pemex could stop having [00:13:15] these sites eliminated, these, they presented it here, now, [00:13:19] yes, the first [00:13:21] slides. [00:13:27] Go ahead, go ahead, [00:13:30] go ahead, go ahead, [00:13:32] go ahead, go ahead, [00:13:36] more, [00:13:37] more, more, [00:13:41] more, [00:13:44] there is a slide that says, then, before [00:13:47] let's see, [00:13:50] before, [00:13:53] where is the slide that says. that then comes after [00:13:56] let's see, I saw [00:13:58] it [00:14:04] now [00:14:11] what the experts tell [00:14:14] us [00:14:16] is, if we do nothing and continue [00:14:20] importing [00:14:22] gas, we will consume in [00:14:25] 2030, oh well, this is in [00:14:27] percentage, this growth [00:14:31] 10 point 10.8 billion [00:14:35] cubic feet of gas, [00:14:38] if renewable energy sources are used in 22,000 MW, which [00:14:41] is a very important figure, [00:14:45] the burning in the flares you mentioned [00:14:49] will be reduced and a portion of conventional gas [00:14:53] will be exploited. [00:14:56] Or well, and energy is used efficiently, rather without [00:15:00] conventional gas, that is, we would reduce [00:15:04] gas in this [00:15:05] little bit, [00:15:09] and if we increase conventional gas and well, it would increase [00:15:13] here, in any case we would no longer depend [00:15:16] 75% on imported gas, but we [00:15:19] would depend 50%, in other words, [00:15:23] with all the measures [00:15:26] they propose, we would go [00:15:29] from depending on the United States [00:15:32] for 75% of the gas we consume today to [00:15:36] 50%. [00:15:38] If we still want to reduce [00:15:40] that 50%, well [00:15:43] then we have to think about [00:15:46] unconventional gas, in a responsible [00:15:49] way. [00:15:53] My third and last question, Madam President, eh, to know [00:15:57] if the scientists present here [00:16:00] eh have knowledge of what [00:16:04] has been talked about for many years, which is the straw [00:16:08] effect in the Burgos area, [00:16:11] is that extraction by the United States [00:16:15] still ongoing through the straw [00:16:18] effect in the Burgos area? [00:16:22] Does anyone want to comment? [00:16:37] Yes. We are talking about the straw effect for unconventional [00:16:39] wells, yes, no, I mean, the [00:16:43] point is that for unconventional wells, [00:16:47] eh, it must be remembered that to obtain the [00:16:51] hydrocarbon, it is necessary to stimulate the [00:16:53] reservoir, that is, to fracture it, eh, it [00:16:57] would not be [00:17:01] this, in this case, the [00:17:04] well would have to be drilled [00:17:08] in Mexican territory, [00:17:11] that is, in this case, in U.S. [00:17:14] territory, and [00:17:17] this would not [00:17:20] have to be, it could not [00:17:24] be done towards the U.S. towards Mexico, [00:17:27] because this and the fracturing would have to have the [00:17:31] facilities on this side of Mexico, no, no, it's not [00:17:34] possible, that is, it would have [00:17:37] here the consequences, let's say, of [00:17:41] any superficial part, that is, [00:17:44] it would have to have facilities and everything [00:17:47] on this side of Mexico, no, no, well, thank [00:17:51] you very much, that is, [00:17:55] it is important to say, [00:17:57] sorry, many times, many of us [00:18:00] opposed unconventional gas, because it is important [00:18:04] to say it, what changes, [00:18:10] because the technologies that were used 10, 15 [00:18:14] years ago when unconventional [00:18:17] gas started, used, perhaps the doctor [00:18:21] can tell us the technological change, [00:18:24] used very [00:18:26] harmful chemicals, [00:18:29] used fresh water, did not [00:18:32] recycle water, today there [00:18:35] are even biodegradable [00:18:37] chemicals, so the way unconventional gas was [00:18:41] done, many more wells were done than [00:18:45] are done now because there are other types of techniques, [00:18:47] so what allows us today [00:18:51] to evaluate unconventional gas in a different way, than 15, [00:18:55] than 10 years ago, well, new technologies [00:18:58] have been developed, we are going to do it, well, we are going [00:19:02] to start seeing if there is water, if there is gas before [00:19:05] anything else and that the experts [00:19:10] us to guarantee, when we see [00:19:13] if it is technically viable to do it, [00:19:16] to consult with the communities in the [00:19:20] area and at the same time guarantee that [00:19:23] technologies are being used that do not have the [00:19:27] environmental impacts of before, I don't know if you want to comment [00:19:30] anything regarding the [00:19:31] changes, for example, of what is used. [00:19:36] Thanks. Madam President, good [00:19:39] morning, I am Omar Arellano from the National School of Earth Sciences of the [00:19:43] UNAM, eh, I am going to talk, I was in the [00:19:46] Impact group and I can talk about the innovations regarding [00:19:50] the reduction of chemical substances, as many [00:19:53] know, 10, 15 years ago, eh, the [00:19:56] fracturing fluid used a large amount of chemical [00:19:59] substances that eh, in many [00:20:03] cases, caused health and environmental [00:20:06] impacts. In recent years, reviewing all the [00:20:09] literature, but also consulting [00:20:12] colleagues in Canada, in the United [00:20:15] States, eh, the number of molecules has been significantly [00:20:18] reduced, currently there is a list [00:20:24] of which it is clearly identifiable which, for example, [00:20:27] can be eh highly toxic, which are not, [00:20:31] also what substitutes there are for these highly [00:20:34] toxic molecules, so that eh the use of [00:20:38] chemical substances in the composition of the fracturing fluid has [00:20:41] been significantly reduced and in [00:20:44] many of the areas that are currently being drilled in the United [00:20:48] States or in Canada, this. is being monitored and [00:20:51] controlled for fugitive emissions of many of these [00:20:55] molecules and molecules with a higher [00:20:58] rate of degradability are being incorporated, [00:21:02] which makes them reduce the ecological [00:21:06] and potential health risk. [00:21:08] Thank you. On the subject, [00:21:12] let's see. [00:21:14] Comrade, [00:21:18] good morning. [00:21:23] Good morning, Madam President, good morning to all the panel. My first [00:21:27] question would be, is there a [00:21:30] country that is already developing what [00:21:33] you are doing, or are you the first [00:21:36] to have that respect for the [00:21:39] environment and extract [00:21:42] gas, but with the minimum [00:21:45] environmental impact? That would be [00:21:49] my. [00:21:54] This, thank you again, one of the [00:21:57] colleagues who also participated in this group, who was also [00:22:01] part of the coordination of this impact group, [00:22:05] eh this has [00:22:09] information on some of the areas where strategies have been implemented [00:22:12] to reduce impacts, one of them is Canada, some of [00:22:16] the Canadian areas have greatly reduced the [00:22:20] environmental impact, there is also the state of Pennsylvania in the United States [00:22:23] with an experience also in the [00:22:26] management of waste and the reduction of environmental [00:22:29] risks and pollution, so yes there [00:22:32] are experiences eh, in fact what [00:22:36] is observed through the study we did [00:22:40] is that eh for example in the United States there are [00:22:44] states where their regulations, their laws, [00:22:46] their practices eh are much [00:22:50] more eh. that is, they reduce [00:22:53] the impact more than in other [00:22:56] states, so I believe that the scenarios that we have been [00:23:00] proposing for Mexico are eh to take the experiences, the [00:23:03] best experiences, the best practices precisely to [00:23:07] reduce as much as possible the impacts and environmental [00:23:10] risks, which are different things, this [00:23:14] for eh well, practices in case this practice [00:23:17] occurs, no, [00:23:20] thank you. A country like Norway [00:23:23] also has many technological anyone else [00:23:26] wants to, yes, go ahead. [00:23:35] Well, as we also mentioned [00:23:38] during the technical evaluation, the development of [00:23:42] technologies, including the additives used, has [00:23:45] evolved greatly, in fact, the [00:23:48] use of, for example, additives of vegetable [00:23:52] origin is currently being promoted, which, as [00:23:55] Dr. Omar mentioned, are already degradable, [00:23:58] they also leave fewer residues, even in [00:24:02] this international analysis that Dr. Almamérica mentioned, [00:24:05] we evaluated the technologies developed [00:24:08] in Argentina, the United States, Canada, and also in [00:24:12] China, and well, many also, there is a [00:24:15] catalog of offerings that has grown a lot, and [00:24:19] eh the selection of [00:24:21] will depend on the mineralogy, [00:24:25] the type of water used, and the conditions of the [00:24:28] reservoirs, so eh there is a catalog that continues [00:24:31] to grow, technological innovation continues [00:24:34] to work and includes many eh many [00:24:38] options, thank you very much, in a [00:24:42] second question, eh [00:24:46] I would like to know if it is still standing, I was [00:24:49] seeing eh the research in [00:24:52] the crystal dome and [00:24:54] econosphere, this in there [00:24:58] is a project by the Secretary of Energy to inject [00:25:02] biogas into the gas [00:25:04] pipelines, is this still standing [00:25:06] to eh take advantage of that, it [00:25:10] is called eh Juan [00:25:14] biomethane, biomethane, yes, Juan if [00:25:18] you want and then. [00:25:24] Your permission, Madam President, eh, the [00:25:28] development of the regulation is underway to [00:25:31] be able to inject biomethane [00:25:35] eh for its use in [00:25:38] pipelines in general eh eh for the [00:25:41] use of natural gas. Biomethane is produced [00:25:44] eh from organic matter, special [00:25:48] conditions are created for it to [00:25:50] be formed. methane gas eh eh which [00:25:53] is called eh biomethane, this [00:25:56] gas also has some compounds [00:26:00] eh of impurities that must be eliminated and once [00:26:04] they can be eliminated, they can be injected [00:26:06] into the distribution centers eh and the [00:26:10] natural gas distribution systems, so well, the regulation is in [00:26:13] process, the use of these alternatives [00:26:17] is recent for Mexico, so the quality monitoring infrastructure [00:26:21] must also be built, that's why all of that is in development, but [00:26:24] the Secretary of Energy has also approved permits for the [00:26:27] production eh of biogas and its use on site, [00:26:31] not for injection into pipelines yet, but for the own consumption of the [00:26:35] biogas production centers, thank you very [00:26:39] much, and in a last question that has to [00:26:43] do with the secretary, well, with energy, [00:26:46] the Bank of Mexico and the [00:26:50] IMF eh [00:26:53] presented their economic [00:26:56] growth outlook for Mexico, [00:26:59] they raised it from one for [00:27:03] this year's GDP from 1.1 to [00:27:07] 1.20, does this have [00:27:11] to do with these projects? [00:27:15] is considering all these [00:27:18] projects that the [00:27:21] energy sector in Mexico, its [00:27:23] government, has, remember that I [00:27:27] told you that in the second half of the year we would do better [00:27:30] because the [00:27:34] infrastructure contracted with public works, such [00:27:37] as public works, is advancing, that is, [00:27:40] highways, [00:27:42] energy, trains, [00:27:46] water mainly, [00:27:50] mixed investments, which are essentially [00:27:53] public investment, using part [00:27:56] of private resources, from [00:28:00] a scheme where the concession [00:28:03] is not given for highways, for [00:28:06] energy, for [00:28:09] essentially highways and energy, [00:28:11] and private projects [00:28:15] that are being developed, [00:28:19] in addition to housing, housing production is generating a very [00:28:22] important boost in economic growth, so [00:28:26] all this has to do with this approach, remember that [00:28:30] energy before, as private participation [00:28:35] electricity generation was done, someone said [00:28:38] I have an x project in such [00:28:40] a place, they went and presented it to the [00:28:43] energy regulatory commission, the energy [00:28:47] regulatory commission gave them a permit, then [00:28:50] they could start their [00:28:53] process, [00:28:55] many of the projects, even renewable energy, [00:28:59] were not very profitable and also generated. [00:29:04] Mexico is a free, independent and [00:29:07] sovereign country. For years, neoliberal [00:29:11] governments surrendered to foreign interests above [00:29:14] those of the people. Today, with the fourth transformation, there is [00:29:18] cooperation between countries, but without subordination, because Mexico [00:29:21] is respected and the destiny of our nation is [00:29:25] decided by us Mexicans. The homeland and [00:29:28] sovereignty are defended. Morena, the hope of Mexico. [00:29:34] It's not easy to understand what you feel, sadness, [00:29:37] anger, fear, pressure, feeling [00:29:41] is not weakness, it's part of living, talking about what's [00:29:45] happening to you can help you name what you're [00:29:48] experiencing, and when someone listens to you, everything [00:29:52] changes, if you need [00:29:54] accompany you, contact the life line 800 [00:29:57] vida 800 [00:29:59] 9001. [00:30:02] of Mexico, these mixed projects already [00:30:06] represent about 800, no 800 [00:30:08] megawatts, so for now there are about 12,000, we have to reach 22, there is a part that is [00:30:12] from the CFE itself, CFE is [00:30:16] also building its own renewable energy generation [00:30:20] plants, from green hydrogen to [00:30:23] geothermal to solar energy, wind [00:30:27] energy, so [00:30:30] with all this and there's still another part to reach what they [00:30:33] recommend, which is 22 gigawatts of [00:30:37] renewable energy, so all this will obviously help [00:30:41] economic growth, today an article comes out in The [00:30:44] Economist, by the way, that says what I [00:30:47] have said here, economic growth is not everything, I don't [00:30:50] just say it because scientists and [00:30:54] social economists know it, the important thing is that there is [00:30:57] distribution of wealth and social justice.
