Ecman projects job openings based on the new regulatory framework for the gas sector for the steel, chemical and infrastructure sectors

PL 4476/20, which refers to the new regulatory framework for the gas sector, was approved by the Chamber of Deputies. The endorsement creates opportunities for new companies, in addition to attracting more investment to Brazil in industry, especially in sectors such as steel, chemicals and infrastructure.

“Approval was expected for some time as a result of initiatives that began during the Michel Temer government and were correctly embraced by the current government. We can say that, immediately, the act gives more peace of mind so that investments that were on standby are accelerated vigorously from now on. This sector is known for initiatives in the advanced study phase, but it depended a lot on this new legal framework for launching new projects”, says Luciano de Carvalho, executive director of Ecman.

According to the executive, not only large companies, but also small and medium-sized industries will also benefit, providing greater accessibility to gas, both through logistics and the distribution network, and through lower prices.

“This approval is a great step forward for Brazil and can be a watershed for the much desired and necessary reindustrialization of the country, which will bring a vast real potential for job creation”, explains the executive director of Ecman.

A ecman serves several companies, including multinationals, which had been following this change with expectation to start their operations in Brazil. According to Luciano de Carvalho, the construction company is prepared to compete for projects that exceed 8 billion reais. Among the plans is the implementation of new receiving lines, expansion and construction of new maritime terminals, land bases for storage and compression bases, in addition to distribution networks throughout the national territory.

“With a good margin of assertiveness, Ecman will be leading works in this sector very soon. Certainly, throughout this production chain, there will be a strong generation of new job openings, from the lowest professional specialization, to the middle and highest”, concludes Luciano de Carvalho.
