Copergás will expand its pipeline from 800 kilometers to 1,200 kilometers by 2024.

Investment Period – Natural Gas Vehicles (CNG)

The investment period will also serve for the Company to focus on the interiorization of natural gas vehicles (CNG) in the State, bringing the product to Petrolina, for example.

“In the city, it will be an innovative project; we will bring natural gas in its liquefied phase, transported by truck, and there it will be distributed as it is here in Recife. The goal is to make gas available in all regions with potential, and increasingly interiorize, reaching all regions,” stated Fábio.

Copergás is expected to reach more than 42 thousand new consumers throughout the State by 2024, with a major focus on the residential and commercial segments. The vehicular sector will also play an important role, with the establishment of 18 new fueling stations in Pernambuco by the end of this year.
