Brazil pre-salt gas auction allocates 1.1M m³/day to five industrial sectors

Brazil's Ministry of Mines and Energy published guidelines for the first Union gas auction in the pre-salt, allocating 1.1 million m³/day to chemical, fertilizer, steel, mining, and ceramic sectors. The auction, set for October, aims to boost domestic industrial gas supply. This marks a step in Brazil's energy policy to expand gas market access, though the date and final terms remain pending.
