Emphasizing the critical role of their work, Usec. Sales urged the TWG members to prioritize uplifting the industry as well as the lives of Filipinos as they shape the country’s natural gas regulations.
“The creation of a technical committee was specifically provided for in the law which is the recently passed Downstream Natural Gas Development Act. That law requires the issuance of codes. The initiation of this project is to ensure that there will be no delay,” adds DOE Dir. Rino E Abad, explaining the crucial role in the timely development of the codes.
The Gas Policy Development Project has supported the Department of Energy in advancing the Philippines’ downstream natural gas sector since its inception in 2018. Now in its third phase, with the support of the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), GPDP continues to assist in finalizing the sector’s regulatory framework, strengthening the capacities of regulators, and providing essential data for policymaking and sectoral planning. 31 Jan 25
