After the sale of Petrobras’s assets, a new national company called Nova Transportadora Do Sudeste (NTS) was established in 2017 to transport natural gas in an environmentally responsible and safe manner.

NTS has a delivery capacity of 67 million m3 and a network of over 2,000 kilometers in length. It connects the states of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, and São Paulo to the Bolivia-Brazil gas pipeline, as well as LNG terminals and gas processing plants. It is responsible for transporting fifty percent of all natural gas transported in Brazil.

About Gerdau

Gerdau, which has been in the market for 121 years, is the largest steelmaker in Brazil and also one of the most important suppliers of long steel in the Americas and special steels worldwide. In addition to producing iron ore for its own use, the company is also responsible for the production of flat steels.

Moreover, it recently created a new business branch called Gerdau Next, which will focus on seeking opportunities in sectors tangential to steelmaking. The organization operates in nine different countries and employs more than 36,000 people directly and indirectly across all its activities.

Gerdau, which produces 71% of the steel in Latin America, is also the largest recycler in Latin America and uses scrap as a significant component of its raw material supply. The production of various steel products begins with 11 million tons of scrap that are recycled each year.

Also considering the environment, the company has one of the lowest average greenhouse gas emissions (CO2), averaging 0.90 t of CO2 per ton of steel, as a result of its sustainable production matrix.
