Goiasgas

What Goiasgas does

Goiasgás - Agência Goiana de Gás Canalizado S/A is a Brazilian mixed-economy company (empresa de economia mista) created by the Government of Goiás in September 2000 through Lei 13.641. It is controlled by the State of Goiás with PETROBRAS and TERMOGAS as shareholders, and holds a 30-year exclusive concession for the distribution and commercialization of piped natural gas throughout the entire State of Goiás. The company's planned product portfolio centers on natural gas distribution (fossil origin or renewable biomethane) across four customer segments: industrial (heat generation, chemical/metallurgical/ceramic/pharmaceutical/textile raw material, electricity and co-generation), commercial (bakeries, restaurants, hotels, schools, laundries), residential (cooking, water heating, climate control), and automotive GNV (taxis, fleets, buses, cargo vehicles). Technical specifications include PCS 9,205 Kcal/m³, PCI 8,307 Kcal/m³, 89.24% methane content, and H2S levels of 0.4 mg/m³, positioning the gas for precision industrial combustion.

The company is currently in pre-operational stage and does not yet generate revenue, qualifying as a smaller enterprise under Article 1, §1 of Lei 13.303/2016. Headquarters are located at Av. Deputado Jamel Cecílio, nº 2690, Ed. Metropolitan Mall - Torre Tokyo, Sala 1906, Jardim Goiás, Goiânia (CEP 74.810-100), and it explicitly owns no real estate assets. Distribution is intended to occur via a pipeline network with direct connections to industrial, commercial and residential customers and through INMETRO-certified conversion workshops and refueling stations for GNV. Pending the construction of the Gasoduto do Brasil Central, Goiasgás is working to bring gas to the state via road and/or rail modalities using LNG or biomethane.

Go-to-market is utility-style and concession-anchored rather than commercial; the company relies on the regulatory exclusivity of its 30-year contract and its institutional alignment with the State of Goiás, PETROBRAS, and TERMOGAS rather than on pricing competition. Recent strategic activity includes a tri-state Joint Public Call (001/2024, April 25, 2024) with CEBGÁS and GASMIG to coordinate gas supply procurement, and a September 22, 2025 governance update at the 35th Extraordinary General Assembly (Code of Conduct and Integrity, Related Party Transactions Policy, Dividend Distribution Policy, Information Disclosure Policy). TCE-GO has approved annual accounts from 2020 through 2024, and the company maintains LGPD compliance under Brazilian General Data Protection Law.

Broad incumbents

• Petrobras: Brazil's state-controlled oil and gas major and a shareholder in Goiasgás. Operates upstream production, gas processing, and transport infrastructure that ultimately feeds state LDCs like Goiasgás; relevant for benchmarking gas-supply economics and shareholder-aligned strategy.
• COMGÁS: Largest natural gas distributor in Brazil, serving São Paulo state under a 30+ year concession controlled by COSAN/Itaúsa. Sets the benchmark for industrial-volume capture, GNV rollout, and tariff-regulated economics that Goiasgás's model aspires to.
