en.Wedoany.com Reported - Naturgy, a piped natural gas distributor in Rio de Janeiro state, is investing approximately R$ 4.7 million to build a new 4.3-kilometer polyethylene pipeline network along the RJ-140 highway in São Pedro da Aldeia.
This construction will connect to existing infrastructure, aiming to improve distribution system reliability and serve new high-consumption customers.
Priscila Castro, Naturgy's regional manager, stated that serving a large number of residential units, new projects, commercial establishments, and natural gas vehicle (NGV) filling stations helps enhance quality of life and economic development. This project is part of Naturgy's expansion plan in Rio de Janeiro state.
The main advantages of piped natural gas include: continuous supply with no risk of interruption, eliminating the need for refueling; comfortable shower experience with adjustable water temperature and flow using water heaters; automatic payment via personal account deduction after consumption; high safety due to natural gas being lighter than air and easily dispersible, with all gas usage areas inspected according to Brazil's main piped gas safety standards; fully guaranteed product quality with no possibility of adulteration; lower pollutant emissions, making it more environmentally friendly; space savings by eliminating the need for cylinder storage; and continuous remote monitoring of the entire distribution network.
Naturgy is the second-largest natural gas sales group in Brazil, operating across five sectors: residential, commercial, industrial, thermal power generation, and natural gas vehicle (NGV) filling stations. The company is also the largest natural gas distributor in Brazil's thermal power market and maintains a leading position in the NGV market. Naturgy continuously invests in modernizing its natural gas distribution infrastructure; currently, Rio de Janeiro state is the most gasified state in Brazil, accounting for 14.9% of national natural gas consumption. The company also operates in 18 municipalities in São Paulo state.
