A survey by the locomotive institute shows that most Brazilians are contrary to the possibility of change in relation to two aspects of the supply of cooking gas: the fractional sale of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and the filling of the containers by Different Brands.
For 92% of respondents, the partial recharge of cylinders (without the 13 full pounds of liquid LPG) would be at risk of leakage. Already the possibility of filling the containers by different brands is disapproved by 83%.
Proposals are highlighted as part of the review conducted by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), 2023.

“Safety is the first purchase criterion. The full, sealed and apparent mark is a concrete guarantee for this family. It’s the way she recognizes who is behind the product,” he says.

The ANP says new proposals for the LPG market will be part of a future resolution, whose draft will be prepared and will undergo public consultation, followed by public hearing. This draft resolution may or may not contemplate the proposals (which are contained in the Regulatory Impact Analysis Report (AIR).
