Government Bets on New Gas Law
The New Gas Law consolidates the necessary advancements for the formation of an open, dynamic, and competitive natural gas market, promoting conditions for price reduction and thereby contributing to the country’s economic recovery.
The competition generated will promote the recovery of the national industry’s competitiveness, especially in the segments of pulp, fertilizers, petrochemicals, steel, glass, and ceramics, in addition to relevant impacts on agribusiness, generating more jobs and income for Brazilians.
According to the Argentine government, each day of plant operation can result in an influx of US$ 500,000 for the neighboring country. However, the export is provisional. Argentina is waiting for the process to be consolidated after winter, when the “Gas Plan” will ensure the country’s self-sufficiency in gas usage. Then, the country expects to carry out steady (uninterrupted) exports to Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay.
