O GNL como mecanismo de flexibilização no fornecimento de gás natural para geração termelétrica no Amazonas

Abstract

The convergence between natural gas and electricity markets is increasing due to the liberalization of these markets and environmental constraints. The transport of natural gas in its liquefied form, LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas), is an important agent for this convergence. In Amazonas, there is a poorly distributed supply of natural gas, with only one supplier, which limits new business and increases investment costs. This study evaluates the feasibility of an alternative model based on LNG supply, acting as a mechanism to flexibilize the supply of natural gas and ensuring a better use of the electricity generation capacity currently installed in Amazonas.
