Comgás’ LNG Terminal in Baixada Santista Receives Environmental Approval, Will Be the First in the State of São Paulo and Aims to Strengthen Distribution in the Region

The São Paulo Gas Company (Comgás) received yesterday (04/30) the approval from the Secretary of Infrastructure and Environment of the State of São Paulo, for the Environmental Impact Study and Report (EIA-Rima) of Comgás’ liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Baixada Santista.
The terminal will be responsible for increasing the LNG distribution capacity in the state of São Paulo and is part of the company’s investment planning totaling R$ 354 million.

The São Paulo Gas Company is a Brazilian company, considered by Abegás the largest distributor of piped natural gas in Brazil, in terms of gas distributed, and it has 1.5 million customers.

The FSRU (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit)

The FSRU will be anchored in the Caneú Lake, near Bagres Island in Santos, São Paulo, and will have the capacity to regasify up to 14 million m³/d, with its gas reaching the city gate of Cubatão through a 5 km long pipeline.
The project has already undergone public hearings in the region between October 10 and 15 of last year, and now with this EIA-Rima approval, the expectation is to start operations in 2020.

Following the current trend in the country to bet on natural gas (LNG), there are currently two more projects underway, one of which is at the Port of Açu, in northern Rio de Janeiro, with a capacity to regasify up to 21 million m³/day.
The other project is located in São Francisco do Sul (SC), which will have the capacity to receive up to 15 million m³/day of LNG.

Currently, Brazil has four LNG regasification terminals in operation, located in Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, and Ceará, which belong to Petrobras, and the terminal located in the municipality of Barra dos Coqueiros (SE) belongs to CELSE (Companhia Elétrica de Sergipe).

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Few know, but India has a 36 km wall that surrounds a fort in the mountains and is considered the second largest in the world, behind the Great Wall of China.

Hyundai Creta 2029 appears in new spy shots with a completely revamped design, a more modern digital interior, a larger multimedia center, a more comfortable passenger seat, and electrification finally on the radar.

Former CIA analyst warns that China has already surpassed the US in missiles, electronic warfare, cyber, and military production, transforming the Pacific into a zone without safe spaces while Washington clings to its submarine advantage.

Home-built airplane by a Minas Gerais engineer uses car parts, such as a power window motor for the flaps and a tachometer on the dashboard. The project took six years, and the aircraft has autonomy to fly up to seven hours non-stop.
