The event is scheduled to take place on May 14 and 15, starting at 9 am and ending at 6:30 pm, at the prestigious Fairmont Copacabana Hotel, located in Rio de Janeiro, which will serve as the venue for this important meeting. This edition highlights the central theme ‘Diversification and Competitiveness: Pillars for Sustainable Expansion’. The program has been carefully crafted, incorporating the most relevant topics in the natural gas sector, promising enriching discussions about the balance between supply and demand, import outlook for natural gas from Argentina, market opening and regulation, and infrastructure investments. Additionally, tax challenges, the exploration of new markets, and the role of natural gas in the energy transition will also be explored in depth.
Participation and Scheduled Debates
Prominent figures in the national and international scene, authorities, and experts in natural gas are among the distinguished panelists. Among those confirmed are Andrea Stegher, Vice President of the International Gas Union; Luiz Felipe Coutinho, CEO of Origem Energia; Heloisa Borges, Director of Oil, Gas, and Biofuels Studies at EPE; Sylvie D’Apote, Executive Director of Natural Gas at IBP; Soledad Lysak, General Director of Gas at TotalEnergies Cono Sur; Paula Pereira, Country Manager of Galp in Brazil; Rodrigo Soares, General Manager of Shell Energy Trading Brazil; Verônica Coelho, Country Manager of Equinor in Brazil; and Edmar Almeida, Professor and Researcher at the PUC-Rio Energy Institute, among other specialists.
On the first day, topics related to the growth of supply and demand for natural gas in Brazil will be the focus. The projections for expansion of both domestic production and imports from Argentina and LNG will be examined. EPE projections indicate that domestic production could double, while import capacity is expected to increase by 20% over the same period.
Competitiveness and Utilization of Natural Gas
On the same date, the event will explore the competitiveness of natural gas for its use in various industrial fronts, in urban mobility systems, in freight transport, and as a complement to renewable sources in electricity generation. This is especially relevant to meet the significant increase in energy demand from data centers, particularly those associated with Artificial Intelligence.
Economist Marcos Lisboa will participate with a lecture addressing the ‘Economic Scenario and Its Impacts on Brazil’s Reindustrialization’, bringing more depth to the discussions of the day.
On the second day of debates, attention will turn to investments in infrastructure and the regulatory challenges that need to be overcome to allow the increase in supply and demand discussed previously. Public policies, the Integrated National Plan of Natural Gas and Biogas Infrastructures (PNIIGB), the strengthening of the regulatory framework, and the adaptation of tax rules will be explored in depth.
Future of the Natural Gas Market
The meeting will also address the necessary steps to mature the natural gas market, making it more flexible, liquid, and competitive. This includes the potential creation of trading hubs and a natural gas exchange. The conclusion of the event occurs with a discussion on the essential role of natural gas in the energy transition, ensuring that it occurs in a balanced and safe manner.
Sylvie D’Apote, Executive Director of IBP for natural gas, emphasizes that this is a vital opportunity to discuss how natural gas can facilitate the decarbonization of the economy, as well as being seen as an ideal energy source to complement renewable energy generation, providing security to the electricity supply in the face of extreme climate challenges.
