Tanks at capacity and empty cylinders: Peru seeks new spheres to store LPG outside Lima to avoid a crisis due to El Niño

Perú is actively seeking new decentralized storage spheres for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) outside of Lima to mitigate potential supply crises triggered by the El Niño phenomenon. Specialists and companies have warned that heavy rains, mudflows, and floods could severely disrupt highway transportation networks.

To prevent fuel shortages and maintain distribution resilience during extreme weather events, stakeholders are proposing alternative transit routes, enhanced cross-border coordination, and decentralizing LPG storage reserves away from the capital.
