The ANP Measure Will Come Into Effect on May 7. The Agency Understands That the Change Will Facilitate Understanding of the Real Fuel Prices

Fuel stations will start displaying prices with two decimal places instead of three. This measure takes effect on May 7. It is resolution No. 858/2021 from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), which gave this deadline for fuel stations to adjust.

The ANP stated that the main objective of the change is to make the price clearer for consumers, aligning the values with the numerical expression in Brazil. Prices must now be displayed with two decimal places on the panel and the displays of fueling pumps.

The ANP emphasized that the third digit may be kept if the third number is 0 and it is locked during vehicle refueling. The agency understands that fuel stations will not need to change the pump modules, something that would certainly require investment from the stations. The ANP believes that the measure will not have any impact on fuel prices for the final consumer.

Gasoline Prices at Fuel Stations Hit Record High

Consumers are paying more and more for a liter of gasoline. The month of April ended with fuel costing R$ 7.524, an increase of 3.24% compared to March. Compared to the same period last year, the increase in fuel price was an impressive 31.14%.

This is the highest price ever recorded by ValeCard, a company specializing in management solutions, which began its analysis in January 2019.

The survey showed that gasoline prices increased in all states except Bahia – where the average gasoline price decreased by 2.26%. Meanwhile, the largest increases in gasoline prices were recorded in the Federal District (5.05%), Piauí (5.03%) and Paraná (4.16%). Finally, the smallest price increases were recorded in Rio Grande do Norte (1.81%), Acre (2.03%) and Rio Grande do Sul (2.51%).

Natural Gas Also Experiences Price Adjustment

On Sunday, May 1, Petrobras increased distribution prices for natural gas by 19%. The change occurred after a quarterly adjustment, which took into account the variation in oil barrel prices and the exchange rate during the period.

The price of natural gas will remain the same for the next quarter. The good news is that liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders will not be affected by the new adjustment. On the other hand, drivers who use Natural Gas for Vehicles (GNV) will be significantly impacted by the new prices.

Scientists enter a narrow, flooded cave 500 meters deep and find giant dinosaur footprints on the ceiling measuring up to 1.25 meters, preserved in such a rare way that a new type of trace had to be created.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

After two years of internal discussions, Paraguay has finally regulated the law that opens the country to foreign technology and service companies with tax incentives that promise to create thousands of jobs and change the economy.

Map reveals how the Earth may look in 250 million years: continents will reunite in the Last Pangaea, 92% of the planet could become uninhabitable for mammals, and Spain appears among the rare possible exceptions.

About 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland, with houses forming a continuous row and narrow agricultural strips emerging behind them, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

After leaving engineering and crossing Brazil by bicycle in search of a simpler life, two young people demonstrate in practice how they installed solar energy at their farm with 4 panels of 550 watts and started producing their own energy.

Researchers in Dubai develop a solution for concrete with biodegradable plastic that resists corrosion, provides ductility comparable to that of steel, and paves the way for modular, temporary, and prefabricated structures.

A 10-year-old girl is attending both elementary school and college at the same time in the United States, and the school principal says she never imagined something like this was possible.

BNDES and a Chinese bank create a billion-dollar fund of $1 billion to invest in Brazil in energy, infrastructure, mining, agriculture, and AI.

Losses that can exceed R$ 15,000 affect owners of Jeep Renegade and Compass after a failure in the heat exchanger mixes oil with coolant, generating emulsion in the system and causing overheating that can destroy the transmission.

With the war silencing the wells of Iran, Brazil set a record of 5.3 million barrels per day and rose in the global oil ranking without anyone noticing — the pre-salt now accounts for 80% of everything that comes from the seabed.

After years of delays and billions invested, the Golden Pass megaterminal in Texas is about to start exporting liquefied gas and will reshape the global energy map amid the Middle East crisis.

The artificial intelligence market within the oil industry is worth billions today and will more than double by 2033, and those who do not get on board now with the race for digital twins and autonomous drilling will be left behind.

Petrobras quietly installed an artificial intelligence system called Smart Tocha in six of its largest refineries, and the technology independently controls the burning of gases to reduce emissions without any operator needing to intervene.

Most oil platforms in the world operate at only 77% of their potential, and McKinsey has just calculated that artificial intelligence alone can cut costs in half and increase value by 30% in just one year.
