Background

The Siderópolis-Porto Alegre Gas Pipeline was one of several new pipelines proposed in an October 2019 government plan to expand Brazil's natural gas transmission network. The 249-kilometer, 16-inch pipeline was estimated to have a development cost of R$ 1.8 billion (1.8 billion Brazilian reais) and the capacity to deliver 3.5 million cubic meters of natural gas per day to customers in the states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.

A December 2022 update of the Brazilian government's national gas transport plan continued to list the Siderópolis-Porto Alegre pipeline as an active project, noting that it was still in the "initial studies" phase.
