SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
“At Gasmar, our commitment to our role—which is to ensure that Chilean families have a permanent supply of high-quality liquefied gas—is just as important as our commitment to the environment and its protection. It is our top priority.”
Mario Basualto
General Manager of Gasmar
AIR QUALITY MONITORING STATION
Gasmar has a unique piece of equipment in Chile—a gas chromatograph—that allows for the identification of traces of odorized gas in the environment. Combined with a weather station that measures wind speed and direction, this provides greater certainty regarding the terminal’s proper operation and its continuous monitoring of emissions.
LOW-SMOKE TORCHES
The flares at our terminals serve as an additional safety measure to address pressure surges generated in the tanks that cannot be absorbed by the cooling units. The remaining gas is burned using a technique that does not release smoke into the environment.
GAS RECOVERY SYSTEM
At our truck loading stations, to prevent gas emissions at the end of the operation, the disconnection between the truck and the terminal features an automatic shut-off on both sides. The gas trapped between the two connections is recovered and returned to the storage tanks, resulting in virtually no emissions.
LIQUEFIED GAS QUALITY
Gasmar stands out for having introduced HD-5 quality liquefied gas to the domestic market; the highest-performance grade globally.
- Clean and environmentally friendly; with low greenhouse gas emissions.
- Recommended for use in engines due to its low olefin content. It is positioned as a crucial component in the transition toward cleaner energy mixes. To certify the product’s quality, it undergoes rigorous laboratory analysis at our terminals.
COMMUNITY
We maintain constant contact with our neighbors, prioritizing honest and transparent communication. We have focused our work on education and risk prevention, strengthening our ties with our communities and establishing partnerships to build local capacity. In 2025, more than 3,600 people from Mejillones, Quintero, and Puchuncaví participated in our community engagement initiatives, with a special focus on supporting the fire departments and schools in these communities.
