Permits and compliance for your gas station

We bring your CNE (energy, formerly CRE), ASEA (environmental) and municipal documentation into one orderly process, with realistic costs and timelines — from filing to ongoing compliance.

CNE · Energy

Marketing permit from the National Energy Commission (CNE): the legal key to selling fuel.

2

ASEA · Environmental

MIA, operating license (Licencia de Funcionamiento, LF), LAU, SASISOPA among others, with SEMARNAT's environmental agency.

3

Municipality

Compatible land use, building permit and civil protection approval.
