Brazil’s import of aluminium containers for compressed gas during 2019-20 marks marginal growth; 2021 predicted with minimal dip

Compressed gas is another way to obtain mechanical energy storage. So, when a piston is used to compress a gas, energy is stored in the gas and can be released later by reversing the movement of the piston, hence pressurised gas is, therefore, an energy store. However, it can release energy that can be used to perform useful work and the common compressed gases are propane, nitrogen, chlorine, helium, and oxygen.

Aluminium cylinders have an excellent static resistance and the engineering can withstand the stress of refill multiple times. The largest country in South America and Latin America, Brazil imported 563 tonnes of aluminium compressed gas cylinders during 2019-20 and the expenditure counted for the import was $8.35 million.

In 2019, Brazil traded 275 tonnes of aluminium containers for compressed gas as import volume and the expenditure accounted was $4.06 million, whereas, in 2020, the nation recorded an import of 288 tonnes, marked growth by 4.72% and the expenditure also carried up at $4.29 million.

Brazil’s import for 2021 has been predicted with a minimal dip by 1.04%, as the import volume is expected to remain at 285 tonnes, while the expenditure stands at $4.34 million.

The major trading destinations for Brazil’s import of aluminium containers for compressed gas are China, Germany, Israel, USA, etc.
