What Asociación Mexicana de Gas Natural does

The Asociación Mexicana de Gas Natural (AMGN) is a non-profit civil association (asociación civil sin fines de lucro) headquartered in Mexico City's Polanco district that functions as the principal representative body of Mexico's natural gas industry. AMGN groups 24 Associate members and approximately 30 Affiliate members whose collective investments exceed $35 billion USD, who generate more than 4,000 direct jobs and over 15,000 indirect jobs, and who operate natural gas distribution and transportation networks across at least 18 Mexican states including Baja California, Mexico City, Jalisco, Nuevo León, Querétaro, and Tamaulipas. Associate members comprise international majors (bp, ENGIE, Naturgy México, Sempra Infraestructura, Kinder Morgan, Macquarie, Trafigura, TC Energía) alongside large Mexican distributors such as DIAVAZ, Gas Natural de Juárez, Gas Industrial de Monterrey, and Gas Natural del Noroeste.

AMGN's service portfolio spans regulatory representation before CRE, SENER, CENAGAS, and CNH; public safety programs such as 'Llama Antes de Excavar' (Call Before You Dig); promotion of Natural Gas for Vehicles (GNV); an interactive infrastructure-mapping platform at plataforma.amgn.mx; a sector job vacancy portal; research publications including a joint study with IMCO released in December 2024 and a 2025 strategic report; and press and communications resources. The association is funded through membership dues from Associate members (with voting rights) and Affiliates, and operates no commercial products or services outside its membership offering.

Technology-wise, AMGN's infrastructure is conventional and non-technical: an institutional website, the cartographic platform, social channels (LinkedIn, X, Facebook), and a newsletter system. No AI/ML products, APIs, SDKs, or third-party integrations are disclosed. Governance rests with a Board of Directors under a two-year rotating presidency; for the 2026-2027 term, Alfredo Bejos Inclán (Executive Vice President of DIAVAZ Gas & Energía) serves as President and Abraham Zamora (Sempra Infraestructura's principal representative in Mexico) as Vice President from January 2026.
