en.Wedoany.com Reported - Pluspetrol, as the operator of the Camisea project, has been awarded the third star by the Huella de Carbono Perú (Peru Carbon Footprint Program), a recognition granted by the Ministry of the Environment of Peru (Minam) to organizations that have demonstrated verifiable progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

This recognition acknowledges the actions the company has undertaken over the years as part of its emission reduction plan. Specifically, it includes technical and operational improvements implemented at the Pagoreni B and Cashiriari 3 production clusters, located in the jungle of Cusco, which enabled the closure and dismantling of two controlled combustion flares. These facilities are now managed under the Lean Cluster model, an operational framework that integrates advanced technology, energy efficiency improvements, and remote operations to optimize production processes and reduce environmental impact.

Thanks to this initiative, Pluspetrol has reduced emissions by approximately 90% per intervention cluster, while also contributing to lower energy and water consumption, reduced solid waste generation, and decreased emissions from air and water transportation. The Lean Cluster project is part of the Camisea environmental strategy, which also includes the Malvinas plant energy efficiency program (reducing over 31,000 tons of CO₂ annually), the Ductos Verdes (Green Pipelines) program (revegetating areas along the natural gas pipeline), and environmental and biodiversity monitoring programs involving community participation and expert researchers.

The Huella de Carbono Perú (Peru Carbon Footprint Program) is an official tool of the Peruvian government designed to recognize public and private organizations that manage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The third star is awarded to organizations that not only measure and report emissions but also obtain certification through specific emission reduction actions. In the case of Pluspetrol, this achievement is part of a continuous improvement process, with its greenhouse gas inventory verified in accordance with the rigorous international standard ISO 14064.
