Series covers a variety of subjects regarding natural gas, such as distribution, regulations, innovative applications, substituting diesel by VNG or biomethane
Six books of the RCGI/USP/Synergia collection will be released during the III Sustainable Gas Research Innovation (SGRI) international conference on natural gas, which will occur in São Paulo on September 25 and 26. The event will bring together more than 200 researchers, besides representatives of the Brazilian government, regulatory agencies, international planning bodies, and petroleum companies.
The series was conceived by several research groups of the FAPESP Shell Research Centre for Gas Innovation (RCGI) and is the result of research carried out by RCGI scientists under different partnerships between the University of São Paulo (USP) and government, social, and business agents from the energy sector.
The collection covers a variety of aspects of the use of natural gas, such as distribution, regulations, innovative applications in industry, substitution of diesel by VNG or biomethane, and even petroleum royalties. “These books reflect the strong calling for the integration and dissemination of knowledge, which has been the hallmark of the RCGI since its foundation, according to FAPESP guidelines,” says Professor Edmilson Moutinho dos Santos, Coordinator of the RCGI’s Energy and Economy Policies program and Professor at USP’s Institute for Energy and Environment (IEE/USP).
Besides these first six books, ten more titles will be released by 2020, for a total of 16 books, all of which in a partnership with Synergia Editora (http://www.synergiaeditora.com.br/). See the following list of the works that are now available.
Information: The release of the RCGI/USP/Synergia series will take place at the III Sustainable Gas Research Innovation conference, which takes place September 25 and 26, from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., in the CDI/USP Auditorium (Av. Prof. Lúcio Martins Rodrigues, 310, Cidade Universitária, Butantã, São Paulo). See more information about the event by clicking on https://bit.ly/2O9cWBL
