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.

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.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

Two months of war between the US and Iran escalate tensions in the Middle East and cause oil prices to surpass 111 dollars.
