The president of MSGÁS, Cristiane Schmidt, made an important visit to the Logás bases located in Poços de Caldas and Extrema, in Minas Gerais. This meeting aimed to closely evaluate the operation of Logás’ bases, bringing ideas that will be adapted for Mato Grosso do Sul starting in 2025. This effort is viewed as a strategic step for the expansion of the natural gas company in the region.

The technical trip included a detailed analysis of the facilities, highlighting the importance of a robust infrastructure for MSGÁS’ future. This move aims to enhance the technologies used and expand the supply of CNG and LNG in future projects. The cooperation between the companies reflects a commitment to sustainable growth and energy development.

In Mato Grosso do Sul, the technical trip comes after the mining company won the public call 001/2023. This public call foresees the development of the CNG modal (Compressed Natural Gas) and LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) in the state, with a service contract for five years. This project is part of MSGÁS’s expansion plan, aimed at supplying new municipalities with Natural Gas and CNG.

Technical Visit to Logás Bases

During the morning, Cristiane Schmidt visited the largest natural gas decompression base in Brazil, located in Extrema, and then arrived at the compression station in Poços de Caldas. On this tour, she checked the advanced technologies used in the processes of compression, transportation, and decompression of natural gas.

‘Our presence at Logás bases in Minas Gerais was crucial for us to closely understand the technologies and infrastructure that will be replicated in Mato Grosso do Sul starting in 2025. This logistics recognition is essential to ensure that MSGÁS has a solid and capable partner for the development of CNG and LNG modal’, emphasized Cristiane Schmidt.

Logás Infrastructure and Partnership with MSGÁS

The mining company will be responsible for the compression, transportation, and decompression of natural gas for MSGÁS, operating as an operator, similar to the work it is already doing for the Gas Company of Minas Gerais (GASMIG). The transportation will be carried out to meet MSGÁS’s expansion plan, which aims to supply the demand in new municipalities in Mato Grosso do Sul.

The project will use trucks equipped with CNG and LNG tanks, all powered 100% by Compressed Natural Gas. To this end, Logás will implement two compression bases in Campo Grande and Três Lagoas. These projects are currently in the environmental licensing phase, with construction expected to begin in the coming months. Alexandre Garcia, CEO of Logás S/A, estimates that the distributed volume could reach 1 million m³ per month.

Expansion and Capillarity of Logás

‘We are expanding our capillarity throughout Brazil to bring natural gas to regions where pipelines do not reach. With the bases in Mato Grosso do Sul, we will be able to better meet the demands of the Midwest’, reinforced Garcia. In addition to the bases in Mato Grosso do Sul, Logás is implementing other compression units in Linhares (ES) and Ribeirão Preto (SP).

Founded in 2005, Logás is a company of the Golar LNG group, specialized in the distribution of natural gas, and a strategic partner of major distributors such as Gasmig, MSGÁS, and ESgás, in addition to private sector companies. Logás currently has four compression bases located in Poços de Caldas, Ipatinga, Betim, and Barbacena.

Future Installations and Infrastructure of Logás

The company is studying the implementation of new units in various regions of Brazil, consolidating its position as one of the main players in natural gas distribution in the country. This expansion is accompanied by a continuous commitment to the development of modern and efficient infrastructure to meet the growing energy demand, especially in regions where gas transportation is more challenging.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

Xiaomi launches new smart stove with titanium sensor and automatic shutdown that detects an open flame without supervision.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

An engine that consumes 40% less gasoline than the average new car already exists and runs on 100% renewable fuel that costs only 10 cents more per liter at Repsol stations.

Starting in 2027, stores will only be able to sell refrigerators of categories A, B, and C, which are, on average, 17% more energy efficient, and the change promises to reduce almost 6 million tons of carbon dioxide by 2030.

CEO of a space company states that humans will live on the Moon within this decade and that the base will be an inflatable habitat with life support in a place where no one has set foot for over 50 years.

Brazilians can now pay with Pix abroad by scanning a QR Code in partner stores in the United States, Argentina, Portugal, France, Paraguay, and Chile, but the system charges a 3.5% IOF and does not yet work in all establishments.

The electricity bill in the Northeast will increase by almost 10% starting this week — five states already have a scheduled date for the adjustment, and the director of ANEEL admits that the increase is double the inflation.

A Chinese company has just delivered its 10,000th humanoid robot — and now wants to place 100,000 in factories worldwide by the end of the year, while Tesla, Boston Dynamics, and the rest of the West have yet to move beyond prototypes.

Brazil has never generated so much clean energy — and has never charged so much for it: while solar and wind farms break records, the electricity bill rises by up to 23% and R$ 52 billion in charges are paid by 35 million families who don’t understand why electricity has become so expensive.
