The Opening of the Gas Market Took Its Most Important Step, with the Signing of the Decree for the Creation of the Gas Market Monitoring Committee.

An event yesterday (07/23), at the Palácio do Planalto, attended by authorities, lawmakers, company representatives, public agency leaders, among other sectors of the industry, marked the launch of the program called “New Gas Market”.
The ceremony was attended by the Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque, and President Jair Bolsonaro, who signed the Decree that creates the Gas Market Monitoring Committee.

The committee will be responsible for monitoring the resolution of the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE), signed at the end of June, which imposes rules for the entry of new players into existing infrastructure, aiming to foster the natural gas market and prevent cartels.

The Role of the NGM

With the “New Gas Market”, the government hopes to improve the utilization of pre-salt gas from the Sergipe/Alagoas Basin and other discoveries, increase investments in gas transportation, processing, and distribution infrastructure, boost gas-fired power generation, and restore the competitiveness of industries that use gas as fuel.

The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) has established a timetable for the upcoming actions for the regulation of the New Gas Market, which forecasts that the work at the ANP will be carried out from 2020 to 2023, thus requiring four years to complete this transition.

To do this, the ANP will focus on the natural gas transportation system and will establish rules for the charging of transportation tariffs and regulations to allow other players access to the distribution network.

The Role of the NGM

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

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.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

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

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

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.

Dissatisfied with seeing women outside the major breweries, a South African revives ancestral tradition, creates a brand with African ingredients, and trains new female brewmasters.

Why the letter password marked ATMs in Brazil: technology seemed complicated, became an extra layer of security, and is now losing ground to biometrics

Archaeologists find a face carved in stone in Kazakhstan and the discovery raises curious questions about ancient tombs, ancestors, and mysterious rituals of the Bronze Age.

Historic record of Brazil in the World Cup has just been broken and still brings an unwanted memory for Brazilians.

Without stakes, drills, or footings: a 3-story building in Taubaté draws attention for being built with styrofoam forms, a small team, six apartments, and five months of construction without a dumpster for debris.
