GLP Should Become Cheaper With Increased Competition and Investment in Infrastructure

The rise in cooking gas prices has forced the government to take significant action to try to control price hikes of GLP. This week, Copagaz, a company that is part of the Zahran group, will be the first Brazilian company authorized to import GLP from Argentina. The agreement will enable the company to import 74 thousand tons per year into the Brazilian market, with 7.6 thousand tons only in this bimonthly period. Infrastructure is also expected to receive new investments.

This is a strategy from the federal government to try to lower gas prices in Brazil. In a statement published by the Ministry of Mines and Energy, the diversification of GLP supply will certainly make the price more affordable for the Brazilian population.

The delivery of gas is scheduled for April and May, to be carried out by Transportadora de Gas del Sur (TGS), at the Gas Terminal of the South, in the city of Canoas, RS. Copagaz intends to make substantial investments in infrastructure in Brazil, acquiring terminals in the South and Northeast of the country.

In Addition to Increasing Suppliers of Cooking Gas in Brazil, the Operation Will Reduce Dependency on Petrobrás and Domestic Products.

The Ministry of Mines and Energy has designed the initiative Abastece Brasil. It was created to promote competition throughout Brazil’s fuel supply chain. One of the advantages highlighted by the Ministry of Mines and Energy is that the transportation of natural gas between Brazil and Argentina will take two days. Since Copagaz operates in 24 states and the federal district, the company’s initiative.

GLP Should Become Cheaper and Attract Investments in Infrastructure

The MME also emphasizes that it has been working to generate new investments in infrastructure. The idea is to increase the amount of available GLP gas in the market. This is expected to happen through imports to ensure supply in the country at a fair price.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.
