"BY 2008, BRAZIL GAS WILL ALL YOU NEED" Senate approves

Government decided to anticipate production based on reserves of the country: 24 million cubic meters per day

Brazil will anticipate the production of gas from existing reserves, according to information from Minister of Mines and Energy, Silas Rondeau. By 2008, there will be additional production of 24.2 million cubic meters of gas per day. It is practically all the gas that Brazil imports from Bolivia, which nationalized its reserves, and half the current consumption of the country

This was one of the measures adopted at yesterday's meeting of the National Energy Policy (CNPE), whose theme was Brazil's energy independence. Along these lines, it was announced the development by Petrobras, a unique technology in the world: the use of soybean and other plants in the refining of diesel. The result is equal to mineral diesel fuel, but less polluting. With that, we will reduce the need for imports by Brazil and the price tends to fall. The

CNPE also discussed the use of alcohol in place of natural gas in thermal power plants, as anticipated yesterday the state. In September, the Plant Seropédica (RJ) will begin operating with turbines that operate with natural gas, ethanol, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG).

crisis with Bolivia was just the backdrop of the discussions. "The topic was energy independence, that's all," said Agriculture Minister Roberto Rodrigues.

The president of Petrobras, Jose Sergio Gabrielli, said he had hypothesized that the gas supply contract with Bolivia will be fulfilled, then there would be no need to worry. "It just showed that we have an alternative," he said. Asked whether this was a response to Bolivia, he said: "For good listener ..."

Director of Gas and Energy of Petrobras, Ildo Sauer, recalled that Brazil will not only anticipate its gas production, but will also replace it with other fuels. "The deduction is yours," he told reporters. "It's a determination that President Lula's Brazil is self sufficient in all its sources," said Rondeau.

Anticipation of gas will be made from the reserves found in the Holy Spirit. Gabrielli said, are new discoveries that will require a change in the pipeline network in South and Southeast. Initially, it was predicted that the reserve would take six to seven years to start producing. The period was shortened to two years.

The most celebrated by the government was the new technology of vegetable oil mixed with diesel refining. "It's a new paradigm for world agriculture", said Rodriguez. In the first quarter of 2007, three refineries from Petrobras (Paraíba, Pará and Rio Grande do Sul) will begin to refine the new diesel H-Bio.

In the estimates of the Minister of Agriculture, it would represent an increase in consumption of 1.2 million tons of soybeans. With this, the government kills two birds with one stone: increasing independence in diesel and strengthens the soybean market, improving product price. The soybeans have been at the forefront of protests against government agricultural policy. (Source: O Estado de S. Paulo, 05/20/2006)
