Resumen
[Abstract] During World War II, the problems that the gas sector faced were the lack
and the increased cost of coal, the raw material with which most of the gas was
manufactured, but it also had diffculties to obtain materials and equipment to maintain the facilities. Likewise, the mobilisation of manpower to the frontlines, particularly skilled workers, who were diffcult to replace. And, unquestionably, war
operations and total war, which distorted the traffc of goods and people, as well as
communications, which affected the capacity to make decisions. In addition, in the
United Kingdom, France and Italy the facilities suffered attacks, and, occasionally,
in the latter two countries the assets were on both sides as the war progressed. This
chapter deals, for the frst time, with the challenges faced by the gas industry in
Latin Europe, specifcally, in Spain, France, Italy and Portugal, but also in the
United Kingdom, the leading European gas industry at that time. These all represent
warring and neutral countries. To do this, the text will focus on the analysis of gas
production, evaluating the aforementioned obstacles that this sector had to cope with.
