Investment In Transport Infrastructure Is Driven By The Growing Demand For Fuels And Biofuels In The Country
The demand for fuels and biofuels will continue to grow, and the country will keep importing fuels and biofuels until 2035. This is shown by a study conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Oil and Gas (IBP), in partnership with Leggio Consultoria, which evaluated distinct scenarios, including the future configuration of the market after divestments in refining and the simplification of fuel and biofuel taxation. To meet the demand and ensure the national supply of biofuels and fuels during this period, investments of approximately R$ 118 billion will be needed in infrastructure for the movement of derivatives, including the expansion of existing infrastructure to eliminate bottlenecks and the development of new projects.
Of this total, R$ 8.7 billion is expected to be allocated to infrastructure dedicated to the downstream segment (ports, terminals, pipelines, railroads) and R$ 109 billion to railway projects, referred to as multisectoral, meaning those that serve different industries and are not solely dependent on the infrastructure for transport of fuels and biofuels for their viability.
Investment In Fuel And Biofuel Transport Infrastructure Will Lead To A Reduction In Distribution Costs
If these investments in infrastructure are made and a single-phase taxation system for fuels and biofuels is implemented, according to what was defined in LC 192/22, with fixed and uniform rates, per product, nationwide, a reduction in the total annual distribution cost in the country of R$ 2.6 billion is expected starting in 2035, eliminating tax losses and logistical inefficiencies in the sector’s infrastructure.

Government Aims To Use Pipelines In Fuel Transport To Enhance Market Competitiveness
In yet another activity focused on reducing the nightmare of high fuel and energy prices, the government has established a new Bill aimed at modifying the National Energy Policy regulations to allow third-party access to transportation pipelines and waterway terminals.
The message sending the text is published in the Federal Official Gazette (DOU) of the government this Friday, 19. According to government information, the proposal aims to maximize the use of pipelines and terminals, “with the goal of increasing competition in the fuel and energy market, encouraging investments, and thus ensuring a reduction in fuel and energy prices for consumers.”
“The government’s proposal, developed by the Ministries of Mines and Energy (MME) and Economy (ME), aims to strengthen the role of ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels) in ensuring third-party access to the transport infrastructures of the petroleum and biofuels industries. This measure is based on pillars of transparency, respect for contracts, and regulatory agency action in cases of conflict,” informs a statement from the MME.
According to the document, the bill aiming for greater competition in the government’s fuel and energy sector predicts that the unused capacity of transportation pipelines and waterway terminals will be available for contracting by any interested party, as outlined in the regulations.
MME Also Emphasizes That ANP Will Have New Tools For Analysis With The Government’s New Bill
MME further explains that if the government’s new bill is approved, ANP will have new tools to curb the conduct of regulated agents that do not comply with access rules.
“This initiative should promote the maximization of the use of transportation pipelines and waterway terminals, and consequently, reduce logistical costs and contribute to ensuring the national supply, with potential for reduction in fuel and energy prices.”
The government also states that the measure has a structural character and is essential in the context of opening the fuel and energy market, especially with the ongoing sale of Petrobras’ refining and logistics assets, according to the Clickpetroleoegas website.
