ANP Wants to Implement Partial Filling of Gas Cylinders, and the Distributor Union Says the Measure is Against Safety Regulations

Since the ANP proposed the fractional sale of kitchen gas cylinders, debates have intensified, with factions both in favor of and against the ANP’s initiative. Government Wants Gas Prices to Drop by Half with the End of Petrobras’ Monopoly.
The partial filling of the 13 kg cylinder, according to the ANP, would benefit low-income populations, allowing them to purchase the amount of gas their resources would permit. The main argument from the distributor union, against the measure, is regarding the safety of the filling operation.

Basing itself on the consumer protection code rules that provide for the fractional sale of products, the ANP launched the proposal and is studying the fractional sale of the 13 kg gas cylinder.
In July of this year, the ANP’s general director, Décio Oddone, communicated this intention, stating the benefit for low-income families who do not have the resources to buy a full gas cylinder.

The Disadvantages

According to the president of the National Union of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Distributors (Sindigás), Sérgio Bandeira de Mello, Brazilian cylinders are not prepared for fractionation.
According to Bandeira de Mello, Brazil currently has about 120 million cylinders, and the swap would create a cost increase of 50% to 120% in relation to the price of the cylinder in use.

But the main problem cited by the union president would be the safety risks, and he provided examples of accidents that occurred during the fractional sale of gas in other countries.
Partial filling of the cylinders would require greater training for attendants, not to mention the increase in the number of filling stations, which would raise potential safety problems and fraud, making oversight more difficult.

Regarding the swap of the cylinders, the ANP’s general director, Décio Oddone, stated that at no time did he propose that the fractionation would occur with the current cylinders and that fractionation is already being done in larger cylinders.

When asked for his opinion, the major of the Fire Department of the Federal District, Márcio Neder Paiva de Sousa, said that the concern is with the risk of gas accidents, especially during refueling. “The Fire Department does not view the procedure calmly,” he stated.

The Disadvantages

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.

The electric classic fever resurrected Kombi, Fusca and other street icons, created a billion-dollar market of nostalgia on wheels, and angered collectors who see restomods as an assault against the soul of classics.

The gigantic supersonic Concorde flew so fast that 100 wealthy Americans booked an entire flight to outrun the sunset, pop champagne at Mach 2, and celebrate New Year’s three times.

Massive, isolated and with no crew on board, this “ghost” oil platform operates alone in the middle of the ocean and ushers in a new era in exploration.

Few remember, but the 2024 drought in the Amazon already affects transport, energy, and agriculture. Rivers are reaching critical levels, smoke covers cities, and the scenario triggers a global alert about climate change.

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.
