The transition from entrepreneur to businessman is a process that requires a lot of effort, dedication, and perseverance. And if we add to this the complexity of a sector as broad and changing as the energy sector, the road can seem endless. In Mexico, there are two main aspects of this sector: electricity and fuels, which in turn are divided into traditional, transitional and renewable sources.

However, there are many other factors to consider, such as ease of implementation or development complications, which makes a decision a more complicated process. In my case, I decided to focus on consulting services in the energy sector and, at first, I thought I could get started right away. But then the crucial question arose: What can I offer?

It was at that moment that I decided to consult my bank account to see what I could invest in, and I discovered that knowledge and experience were our greatest differential value. The combination of my background as an engineer with what I was seeing in the energy sector made me see that the field of knowledge is so broad that many of us can make a living from it or take it as an opportunity to make a positive impact, making a difference, as I decided to do.

Consulting in the energy sector is fundamental, as it allows the establishment of a connection between the gears of a large machine, where the actors need to be synchronized to achieve the objectives. Among these actors are the regulated and/or permit holders, service providers, government authorities at all three levels, academia and research, as well as users and/or society in general, without losing sight of the importance that must be considered in terms of the impact generated on the environment. We are the ones who explain, orient and guide the regulated parties in each step for regulatory compliance before the authorities of the Hydrocarbon Sector.

Although consultancy has an idealistic objective for the companies that are dedicated to it, the most important sustenance is found in the way in which the arguments are supported, which must always be from the duty to be the specialization. This allows us to establish the necessary strategies to carry out a successful service, identifying the needs and defining customized solutions.

All of the above represents the trajectory and foundations of G2H Sustainable Consulting during these first five years. We are not only suppliers, we are strategic and commercial partners that allow us to be the universal translator for the energy and industrial sector in Mexico. We strive to maintain constant training and updating, establishing clear and achievable objectives that allow us to be the bridge between the regulated and the authorities for the growth and strengthening of the sector in the country, but most importantly, prioritizing safety and the environment. 

Safety is a crucial factor in the energy sector, since any mistake can have serious consequences. Therefore, at G2H Sustainable Consulting, we focus on ensuring that our services are safe and efficient, and that our clients can rely on us at all times.

Likewise, sustainability or energy transition is another essential factor in our work. Energy consumption is a limited resource and it is essential that it is used responsibly. 

As part of our energy innovation, we , therefore, collaborate with associations and projects that promote the use of energy carriers. Participation in energy carriers is essential to ensure a sustainable future and the development of a low-carbon economy. Energy carriers are understood as the different means used to transport, store and use energy, such as electricity, natural gas, biofuels and hydrogen, among others.

We are convinced that participation in sustainable energy sources can have a significant impact on the economy by driving innovation and job creation in key sectors such as renewable energy and energy efficiency. It can also improve energy security, reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels and boost diversification of the economy.

Innovating, maintaining and growing for the Mexican energy sector has undoubtedly been a challenge, but I am convinced that, hand in hand with the professionals who are now part of the consultancy, with their skills, training and resilience, we will follow the path of understanding the needs of the regulated before the authority and vice versa, as well as the fresh vision brought by the new graduates of different universities. 

We work daily looking for ways to propose a massive adoption of new technologies that allows us to offer cleaner energies, the generation of jobs and share the knowledge for their implementation.

We, as agents of change, will apply the transfer of knowledge, know-how, implicitly and/or explicitly, making available cutting-edge sustainable services aimed at the business and hydrocarbon sectors
