The project declares national public interest the liquefaction of natural gas destined for the export of LNG, with the aim of develop the value chain of the LNG industry, promote exports and promote the technological development of the sector.

In this sense, it is proposed the creation of a Promotion Regime for large projects which includes the transportation of natural gas for the production of LNG, its liquefaction, storage and transportation; and its commercialization and export. Those who present projects will be beneficiaries within the first 3 years of its sanction (extendable for another three by the application authority).

Grants fiscal benefits to projects that commit at least a certain investment and a minimum production capacity of tons of LNG per year.

The benefits they include income tax, VAT refund, exemptions for importing goods; and favorable conditions regarding export duties that vary according to the FOB price of LNG exports.

The initiative covers the types of hydrogen blue, pink and greenits vectors, and emphasizes the equipment of the value chain and the incorporation of goods and services with a high technological content.

Demands levels of carbon and greenhouse gas emissions and hydrogen production “following the highest international safety and environmental standards”.

Regarding incentives, it grants tax benefits differentials by type of hydrogen, which they include income tax, VAT refund, exemptions for importing goods; and favorable conditions regarding export duties that increase ten-yearly.

As in the case of LNG, fiscal stability and access to the Free Exchange Market for payment of financial debts and availability of foreign currency from exports are guaranteed.
