The taxes on compressed natural gas (GNV), industrial, and residential in SC will have average adjustments of 40% starting from the first month, according to definitions from the Regulatory Agency for Public Services of Santa Catarina (Aresc).

Average Adjustment of Natural Gas Reached 28% in January This Year

Companies are questioning the prices charged by Petrobras for compressed natural gas (GNV), which holds a monopoly on supply through Gasbol. In July, the adjustment for the industry reached 36.57% in SC, the highest among the four user groups.

In January of this year, the adjustment in the state reached 28%. Companies also filed action with Cade, SCGás, Infragás, the Federation of Industries of Santa Catarina (Fiesc), and the state government. If the competition agency meets this demand, according to SCGás’s advisory, the decision could influence prices in the following months or also in the July adjustment.

In addition to the semiannual adjustment, Aresc decided this month to revise the distribution margin of SCGás through resolution No. 186/2021. According to the agency, the new margin for the company will rise from R$ 0.3346 to R$ 0.3826. This will have an average effect of 2% on tariffs. It is an update based on inflation.

To Stimulate the Use of GNV, Platform 99 Will Start Renting Conversion Kits for Partner Drivers

Natural gas offers several benefits for various sectors, such as industry, providing lower equipment corrosion, easily adjustable combustion, pay-as-you-use arrangements, lower insurance premiums, among others.

In the automotive sector, compressed natural gas (GNV), when used instead of gasoline or alcohol in vehicles, offers a cost advantage per km traveled. For the commercial sector, it provides lower installation costs and less investment in storage due to space usage.

With the constant rise in fuel prices, using Compressed Natural Gas (GNV) is an alternative found by several app drivers. On the balance sheet, with the fuel, it’s possible to achieve savings of up to 50% compared to gasoline or other fuels in São Paulo city. However, many professionals still feel insecure enough to pay an initial installation cost of R$ 5,000. Therefore, “99” has a new initiative to rent Compressed Natural Gas (GNV) conversion kits for partner drivers’ cars for just R$ 329.00 per month.
