Abstract
- Technical, economic, social and environmental conditions are turning natural gas into a feasible solution for sustainable transportation systems in the State of São Paulo (Brazil). Blue Corridors are routes that aim to enable the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for heavy vehicles as a substitute to Diesel oil. Therefore, this work proposes four scenarios for a Blue Corridor in the State of São Paulo and analyzes its environmental and economic impacts. The results are presented in cartographical figures and show that LNG costs up to 44% allowing the LNG to be 4% more expensive than the diesel truck on average. However, despite the economic advantages presented in the results of this study, LNG still faces regulatory barriers that must be addressed in order to allow its widespread use in the transportation sector.
