The Director-President of the Autarchy, João Rufino Júnior, was in Rio de Janeiro from April 4 to 7, holding a series of alignment meetings with entities that work on regulating the natural gas market.

The manager participated in meetings with representatives of the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), the Association of Large Industrial Consumers of Energy and Free Consumers (Abrace), the Brazilian Association of Independent Producers of Oil and Natural Gas (ABPIP), and the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV).

The Objectives of Arsepam with the Entities

With the ANP, João Rufino proposed a technical cooperation agreement for the exchange of experiences between the institutions. The proposal was well received by the federal regulatory agency’s board, and new discussions on the subject will be scheduled soon.

With the FGV, a possible collaboration for the institutional and organizational development of Arsepam was aligned, as well as the regulatory council integrated into the state autarchy. The regulation of Law No. 5.420/2021, which is the Natural Gas Law, was also discussed, as there are provisions that need to be the subject of regulation. The FGV is an important partner in this process.

The Importance of the Work for Amazonas

The work of Arsepam directly impacts these agencies, and it is important that they can be heard, thus building a regulatory stock and a normative framework which, based on the Natural Gas Law, also contributes to the growth of the free market and the consolidation of the economic development of Amazonas.

The legal advisor of ABPIP, Daniela Santos, emphasized during the meeting that information sharing is essential to understand the particularities of Amazonas and the points that require differentiated regulatory norms, taking into account the condition of the State.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

Submerged fissure in Iceland looks like a window between two continents: glacial water filtered for up to 100 years traverses 50 km of volcanic rocks and reveals, with visibility over 100 meters, the separation between North America and Eurasia underwater.

The 2014 World Cup left a million-dollar legacy in Itaquera: the Corinthians stadium more than doubled the price per square meter, attracted developers, led to thousands of residential units, and changed the neighborhood, but mobility barriers still hinder the area around the arena.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Soviet villagers found a “human figure” with open eyes next to a capsule fallen in the snow and thought they had found a dead cosmonaut, until they discovered it was Ivan Ivanovich, the mannequin that tested the spacecraft before Gagarin became the first man in space.

Brazil delivers a giant dam worth R$ 365.7 million in Rio Grande do Sul, capable of forming an artificial lake with 138 million m³ of water, equivalent to 55,300 Olympic swimming pools and an area larger than 2,500 football fields.
