Flexibilização da oferta de gás natural para a Bahia

Abstract

It notes that the situation in the Northeast region is particularly delicate, given the deficiency in transport infrastructure and the scarcity of natural gas, with prospects that the region's economic growth will be hampered by the lack of energy sources with competitive costs. This article identifies the possibilities for making the supply of natural gas more flexible for Bahia and the benefits that greater use of natural gas in the energy matrix would bring to the Bahian economy. It points to the need to adopt complementary alternatives for gas supply, taking advantage of the competitive advantages of the Port of Aratu for LNG imports and, in parallel, enabling investment in transport infrastructure.
