Discover how natural gas storage in France can transform the Brazilian market
The institutional mission of ANP in France reveals advanced practices of storage of natural gas, efficient regulatory models and the positive impacts that these initiatives can bring to the Brazil's energy infrastructure.
ANP and the search for solutions for Brazilian natural gas
Between the days 2 and 6 December 2023, the ANP, with the support of Brazilian Embassy 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 in this mission was the memorandum signed with the CRE in July 2023, which has enabled an exchange of knowledge that is now decisive. France, with 14 storage facilities and 70 years of experience, has 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, sanctioned in 2021, already regulates storage, but, with the French experience, it is clear that adjustments are still necessary. Therefore, ANP seeks to increase the participation of the private sector and maximize the efficiency of the entire Brazilian natural gas market.
Energy security as a priority in the Brazilian market
Energy security is essential, and storage is a key element 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.
