El Gas de Lutitas (Shale Gas) en México. Recursos, explotación, usos, impactos1

It is within an integral framework of energy, environmental and technological policies that the possible exploitation of shale gas by public and private actors should be analyzed and discussed. Once the existence of resources technically andeconomically recoverable is fully confirmed and the environmental impacts of their exploitation fully assessed, it is also necessary to build or reinforce a specific institutional and regulatory framework in order to guarantee an adequate development of this sector.
