M ore than half of the primary energy produced in Argentina

comes from natural gas , a fact that positions the country as the largest consumer in Latin America .

The biggest company dedicated to its transportation in Argentina is called Transportadora de Gas del Norte , founded in 1992 as a company dedicated to the transportation of natural gas by high pressure pipelines in the centre and north of the country . Tracking back its history , it is a continuation of Gas del Estado , a state-owned company privatised in 10 business units at the end of last year .

Today , TGN is responsible for the transportation of 40 % of the gas that flows through the Argentine trunk gas pipelines . Exclusively operating the two existing gas pipeline systems in the North and Central regions , the company represents 18 % of the national energy matrix .
