Discover How Natural Gas Storage in France Can Transform the Brazilian Market

The institutional mission of the ANP in France reveals advanced practices in natural gas storage, efficient regulatory models, and the positive impacts that these initiatives can bring to the energy infrastructure of Brazil.

ANP and the Search for Solutions for Brazilian Natural Gas

Between December 2 and 6, 2023, the ANP, with the support of the Embassy of Brazil in France, led a mission with the clear objective of exploring and adapting natural gas storage practices. Thus, the focus was to align the findings with the New Gas Law and ensure applicability in the national market.

International Partnerships as a Driver of Innovation

An important milestone of this mission was the memorandum signed with the CRE in July 2023, which allowed for a knowledge exchange that is now decisive. France, with 14 storage facilities and 70 years of experience, demonstrated how well-structured practices ensure balance and economic efficiency.

The Impacts of the New Gas Law on the Storage Sector

The New Gas Law, enacted in 2021, already regulates storage, but with the French experience, it is clear that adjustments are still needed. Therefore, the ANP seeks to increase private sector participation and maximize the efficiency of the entire Brazilian natural gas market.

Energy Security as a Priority in the Brazilian Market

Energy security is fundamental, and storage is a key piece in this context. By integrating strategic stocks into the production chain, Brazil can achieve greater stability and competitiveness, ensuring lasting benefits for society as a whole.

Energy Security as a Priority in the Brazilian Market

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Stored for over 100 years, the first underwater tunnel in Latin America receives a decisive boost with a loan of R$ 2.5 billion signed in April and promises to connect Santos and Guarujá, on the coast of São Paulo, in just 5 minutes.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

Tectonic plates have been deforming the Earth for millions of years in the planet’s deep interior, and scientists reveal how these ancient structures continue shaping the mantle to this day.

After the collapse in 2022, DNIT conducts a two-day load test and opens on Monday (the 27th) the new bridge over the Altas Mirim river, at km 24 of BR-319, 244.6 m long and 11 m wide, to end the ferry and queues.

The dredge that went to Europe for maintenance returned to Santa Catarina to resume Brazil’s largest beach widening project, which is 8 km long and has already seen 4.9 million cubic meters of sand removed from the sea.

33 meters beneath a London street, inside tunnels built during World War II, a farm grows salads and herbs using LED, without sun, without soil, and with 70% less water than a conventional garden.

Scientists identify 4 planets potentially more habitable than Earth, with rocky worlds between 12 and 1,200 light-years away that may have liquid water, stable climate, and ideal conditions for life, but extreme distance still prevents any attempt at colonization.

Brazil has never generated so much clean energy — and has never charged so much for it: while solar and wind farms break records, the electricity bill rises by up to 23% and R$ 52 billion in charges are paid by 35 million families who don’t understand why electricity has become so expensive.
