Background

The National Unification Gas Pipeline (Gas Unificação – GASUN) will be a 4,989-kilometre (3,100 mi) natural gas pipeline in Brazil. GASUN will connect the Gasbol pipeline with the northern Amazon and the Northeast states (Tocantins, Pará, Maranhão and Piauí) allowing transportation of Bolivian gas into these regions. The project is expected to cost US$2.48 billion.

The first stage of GASUN begins at a junction with the Gasbol Gas Pipeline near Usina Mimoso, in the municipality of Ribas do Rio Pardo, Mato Grosso do Sul. From here the pipeline runs northeast towards Brasília, passing through Goiânia (Goiás state). Construction of this section started in 2005, and was completed in 2007.

The longest and most costly portion of GASUN will be the 2,260-kilometer (1,400 mi) long central-north branch, which is to connect Goiás and Maranhão. It will pass through Palmas (Tocantins state) and Belém (Pará state). The entire natural gas pipeline is scheduled to be complete by 2026.
