VLFS IN BRAZIL Sustainable Monetization of Natural Gas and the Offshore…

What should be done with the pre-salt natural gas that today is mostly reinjected into reservoirs? This book offers a bold answer: instead of transporting the resource to shore, bring industry to the sea.

Building on the concept of Very Large Floating Structures (VLFS), the authors explore how massive offshore industrial complexes could convert natural gas into low-carbon fuels — hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol — already in high demand worldwide.

The work combines technical, economic, regulatory, and geopolitical analysis, presenting case studies that demonstrate both the feasibility and the strategic impact of this proposal on Brazil’s positioning in the international clean energy trade.

More than a study, it is a call to reflection and action: to turn a long-standing challenge into a competitive advantage, projecting Brazil as a protagonist in the global transition to a low-carbon economy.
