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).

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

Japanese garbage collectors treat filthy trucks as if they were dealership cars, and the obsession with cleanliness is so absurd that they invented a washing machine that only exists for this type of vehicle.

Seen from high in the stratosphere, a Lego Star Devourers rose to 34,988 meters attached to a balloon, returned to Earth intact, and entered the Guinness World Records in a record that seems like science fiction.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.

India built a 21.8-kilometer sea bridge to connect Mumbai to Navi Mumbai, and a journey of up to 120 minutes fell to about 20.

South America’s most famous oasis has an emerald lagoon formed by underground waters in the Peruvian desert. It is located 300 km from Lima, is surrounded by giant dunes, and holds a mysterious mermaid legend.

Iranian currency plummets to a historic low, reaching 1.8 million per dollar and exposing economic pressure amid the war.

BR-447 is almost ready in Espírito Santo, and the R$ 236 million highway will finally remove trucks from among cars and create a direct corridor to the port that the state never had.

The UN stated this Thursday (30): war in Iran triggers a worldwide boom in clean energy despite resistance from some countries.

Up to 200 mm of rain could fall in less than two days in Rio Grande do Sul with the formation of a cold front that brings a real risk of flash floods and widespread flooding this long holiday weekend.

Volvo FH 540 leads heavy truck sales in Brazil for the seventh consecutive time and reinforces absolute dominance with advanced technology and high profitability.

A strong cold front is advancing across Brazil now, but researchers warn that extreme heat is expected to increase, affect work capacity, reduce people’s income, and cause billion-dollar economic losses in the coming decades.

The fastest-growing risk in Brazilian cities isn’t only apparent during heavy rainfall; it has already increased by 145% since 1985, covers 1.2 million hectares, and can transform floods and inundations into an increasingly common threat.

Scientists warn that the Atlantic Ocean is silently losing oxygen, fish could disappear from entire areas, fishing could shrink drastically, and millions of people could feel a direct impact on their food supply in the coming years.
