The Nation's Climate Commitments
Colombia has established ambitious, legally-backed targets to guide its transition towards a sustainable, low-carbon economy.
The Evolving Energy Matrix
This visualization illustrates the profound shift in Colombia's energy composition, moving from a system dominated by hydro and fossil fuels to one led by non-conventional renewables.
Future Scenarios for Natural Gas
As a critical "bridge fuel," the future of natural gas is key. These scenarios project potential production paths against demand, highlighting the urgency of developing domestic resources to ensure supply.
Timeline of Major Domestic Gas Projects
To meet future demand and reduce import reliance, Colombia is pursuing several high-impact domestic gas production projects. This timeline highlights the key milestones for unlocking these vital resources.
Sinu-9 Onshore Acceleration 2025
A six-well exploration and appraisal campaign begins, aiming to increase production capacity to 60 MMcf/d and provide near-term supply.
Canacol Valiente Prospect 2025
Drilling of a high-impact onshore prospect targeting over 100 Bcf of gas and condensate near Bogotá and Medellín.
Sirius Offshore First Gas 2029-2030
Commercial production begins at the giant Sirius field (6+ Tcf discovery), aiming to deliver an initial 470 MMcfd and significantly boost domestic supply.
Gorgon Offshore First Gas 2031-2032
The Gorgon discovery, part of the Southern Caribbean cluster, is slated to begin production, further securing Colombia's long-term gas self-sufficiency.
Colombia's Strategic Energy Roadmaps
The national strategy is built on four key pillars, each with a specific role in creating a balanced, secure, and sustainable energy future.
Hydrogen
Targeting 1-3 GW of electrolyzer capacity by 2030, leveraging renewable potential and recent natural hydrogen discoveries to become a key energy vector.
Natural Gas
The essential bridge fuel. Strategy relies on unlocking domestic potential through major offshore and onshore projects to ensure grid stability and energy security.
Biogas
A circular economy solution using organic waste to generate clean energy, with a goal to replace 10% of harmful firewood use in homes by 2050.
LPG
A critical tool for social equity and public health, aiming to replace 42% of firewood use by 2050 to combat energy poverty and deforestation.
