Congress discusses alternate form of sale of cooking gas. Consumers can buy much as you like
Brasilia - The consumer can purchase at least R$ 5 of gas without having to buy bottled at 13 kg, which costs around R$ 35 in Rio. So have the option of paying for and wanted to consume, as is done today gas stations. This is the bill proposed by José Carlos Machado (DEM-SE), which has been approved by the Committee of Mines and Energy. Today, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, National Petroleum Agency and National Federation of Retailers Gas discuss the proposal at a public hearing in Congress.
The governor of Rio, Sergio Cabral, is also involved in the issue. Detailed study sent to President Lula suggesting the creation of a "pioneer area" in the state to test the fractional consumption of cooking gas. The governor has set up project inspired by the experience of South Korea, where the fuel is sold in fractions at the gas stations. U.S. and Canada use the system, but on a small scale.
With this measure, the consumer could buy 1 to 20 pounds of gas, refilling the cylinder at petrol stations with a system similar to that for cars with CNG. The author of the bill states that only six distributors command 96% of the gas distribution in the country The lack of competition would be responsible for high prices.
According to José Carlos Machado, the fractional distribution at gas stations would reduce the price of gas and favor the poor. "Can you imagine if there were only card prepaid cellphone valued at R$ 100?
The citizen is obliged to buy a cylinder of 13 pounds, but if you have only R$ 30, goes home with no gas and has to cook on wood, "criticized the congressman. According to the parliamentary, trade distributors are lobbying against the measure, arguing that the fractionation can cause insecurity.
Author says he is playing with a dinosaur
Changes in cylinders, said Rep. Jose Carlos Machado, will be in charge of gas distribution. "We are playing with dinosaur who was jailed for 20 years. Fractionation will promote profound transformation in the gas trade, "he said, adding that the bill annually distributing R$ 16 billion.
The National Association of Gas Distributors (Sindigás) informed by note, which views the project as "worthy" from the point of view, but that the recharge has risks in transporting the cylinders and for the conference of correct weight of gas that the consumer is buying: "The overwhelming majority of Brazilian consumers is not very appropriate vehicle to carry your bottles and fill them at the gas station."
All cylinders have to be replaced
Laboratory Manager Fire Safety Institute for Technological Research of São Paulo (IPT), José Carlos Tomina explains that, from a technical standpoint, the adjustment of cylinders to receive refill at gas stations is not feasible, "would have to make changes the 100 million cylinders in circulation and install meter level to not overload the container with more than 80% of the limit. " IPT did not report the value of the level meter.
Tomina, however, makes remarks on the use. According to the professor of IPT, the risk measure is the retention of bad bottles. As the system of recharging the cylinder is not running, the same container with the client would not receive any kind of survey. "The company would no longer be responsible and take care of the consumer bottled it. The only risk would decrease if the post was required to collect bottles bad, "he says.
