Bringing More Investments to the Brazilian Gas Industry, Senate Votes Today on the New Regulatory Framework for the Gas Sector, Extracted from the Agenda (PL4.476/2020)

The project presented, which is still pending a vote in the Senate aiming for more investments, concerns the new regulatory framework for the gas sector, extracted from the agenda (PL4.476/2020). From former Congressman Antônio CARLOS Mendes Thame, the text refers to the agenda for the remote session on Wednesday (9), however, its vote was postponed to today (10) Thursday, at the request of the report’s rapporteur, Senator Eduardo Braga (MDB-AM). According to him, more time is needed “to complete the report without compromising the evaluation of the proposed amendments.” At the time of closing this report, senators had already presented a total of 20 amendments to the gas sector project.

Investments in the Gas Sector Project That Will Still Be Voted on in the Senate Will Replace the Current Legal Model

This new set of regulations aimed at increasing investments will replace the current legislation on the subject, outlined in Law 11,909 of 2009. The investments in the project seek to replace the current legal model for the exploration and transportation of natural gas and for the construction of pipelines, changing the requirement from a bidding process (which the company would need to win) to a permission process (in which the company presents a project after a public call and awaits approval from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels – ANP).

The regulation to be voted on by the Senate for more investments also provides mechanisms for facilitating the deconcentration of the gas market, in which Petrobras currently dominates 100% of import and processing activities and about 80% of production.

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.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

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.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

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.

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.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Scientists create “living” materials that crawl, walk, and dig on their own by transforming internal tension into movement, mimicking biological tissues without having real cells.

NR-1 obliges companies to pay attention to mental health at work and highlights the impact of abusive targets, exhausting work hours, and harassment on leaves due to psychological disorders.

First electric Ferrari emerges with five seats, unconventional design, million-dollar price, and a burning question among fans: genius or betrayal of tradition?

Labubu officially arrives in Brazil in June with prices up to R$ 799.99, attempts to curb the invasion of counterfeits, and turns serrated-tooth dolls into a new craze among collectors.

Luciano Hang, owner of Havan, surprises and announces R$ 100 million to employees with the advance payment of the PPR and 13th salary for more than 23,000 employees during the 40th anniversary of the retailer, which aims to reach 200 megastores in Brazil.
