Natural gas distribution companies in Brazil have announced various infrastructure expansion projects. 

Gasmig, a state-owned company in Minas Gerais, unveiled a five-year plan to extend its network from the north to the south of the state. This strategy includes a R$ 1 billion investment to develop a biomethane network in the Triângulo Mineiro region, targeting the mining sector to facilitate decarbonization. The company also aims to establish transport corridors that may eventually transition to renewable fuels.

Separately, ES Gás announced a R$ 10 million investment to expand the gas network in São Mateus by 2030. This project involves constructing approximately five kilometers of new distribution networks to connect industrial, commercial, residential, and transport sectors, including the Norte Health Complex.
