Petrobras Announces 8.1% Reduction in Natural Gas Price

Petrobras announced on Monday (17) a new reduction in the price of natural gas for distributors, which will take effect from May 1. The 8.1% drop in the product’s price is related to the moving quarter of February, March, and April, during which the price of Brent crude oil, a reference in the international market, decreased by 8.7%.

Despite this, there was a slight currency depreciation of 1.1%. With this new adjustment, Petrobras has accumulated a 19% reduction in the price of gas in 2023.

Federal Government Studies Expansion of Pipelines and Natural Gas Production in the Country

The federal government is analyzing the possibility of using pre-salt resources to finance the expansion of pipelines and increase the supply of natural gas in the national territory. The president of Petrobras, Jean Paul Prates, commented on the price reduction during an event at the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo (Fiesp):

Impact of the Reduction on the Market and Comparison with Other Fuels

Since taking over as president of Petrobras in January, Jean Paul Prates has already promoted average reductions in natural gas prices of about 20%. By May 1, the price will be 20% lower than in January.

Valecard, a consulting firm that works with 25,000 commercial establishments across Brazil, reported that last week the average price of gasoline rose by 0.18%, reaching R$ 5.735; hydrated ethanol also saw an increase of 0.63%; and only the S10 diesel, with a 10% biodiesel blend, recorded a decrease of 0.25%.

The reduction in the price of natural gas and the Federal Government’s efforts to expand the production and supply of this product in the country can bring economic and environmental benefits. In addition, the expansion of the pipeline network can contribute to the development of new markets and the diversification of the Brazilian energy matrix.

With these measures, the Federal Government and Petrobras demonstrate a commitment to promote the competitiveness of the sector and ensure access to natural gas at more affordable prices for the population and industry.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.
