Peru is struggling to go green with natural gas

Peru, a sizeable oil producer in the 1970s, is rediscovering its energy export potential but its natural gas output may end up like its gourmet coffee beans – in abundance abroad, hard to find at home.
Peru, which aims to export natural gas to Mexico from 2010 and eventually to the US and Chile, is failing to tap its reserves for domestic use and put an end to pollution-belching oil-powered buses, cars and factories.
“The conversion to gas in industry has been limited and the conversion for domestic use is almost nil,” Cesar Gutierrez, president of state energy company PetroPeru, told Reuters.
