Background
The Santo Antônio dos Lopes-Caucaia Gas Pipeline is one of several new pipelines proposed in a November 2020 government plan to expand Brazil's natural gas transmission network. The 684-kilometer, 20-inch pipeline would have an estimated development cost of R$ 6.2 billion (6.2 billion Brazilian reais) and the capacity to deliver 8 million cubic meters of natural gas per day to customers in the states of Maranhão, Piauí, and Ceará.[1] As of November 2020, environmental licensing for the project was underway.[2]
The Santo Antônio dos Lopes-Caucaia pipeline would follow a route similar to the Gasoduto Meio Norte, an earlier pipeline project that received its initial environmental permit in 2005 but was never built.[3][4][5] Federal law 14182, passed in July 2021, which calls for the construction of 8 GW of new gas power plants and associated pipelines serving Brazil's interior[6], has provided new impetus for the pipeline's construction.[7]
A December 2022 update of the Brazilian government's national gas transport plan continued to list the Santo Antônio dos Lopes-Caucaia pipeline as an active project in the licensing phase.[8] As of June 2024, no further development had been reported.[9]
