The proposed pipeline extends 1,050 kilometers across three countries.Argentina contributes 110 kilometers, Brazil spans 410 kilometers, and
Paraguay covers the largest portion with 530 kilometers through its Chaco region
The project requires approximately $2 billion in investment.Paraguay Secures Strategic Position in South American Gas Pipeline Project

The flat terrain of the Chaco simplifies construction
The path aligns with the Bioceanic Road Corridor currently under development.Existing international paved highways and already-secured
right-of-way permissions further enhance feasibility
The pipeline would transport up to 30 million cubic meters of gas daily.This capacity significantly improves energy security throughout the
Construction plans utilize existing infrastructure to reduce costs and environmental impact.Feasibility and Benefits of the Gas Pipeline
ProjectFebruary marked a crucial milestone when Paraguay and Brazil signed the first Memorandum of Understanding for the project
This agreement established a binational Working Group that meets weekly to coordinate technical studies and investment plans.The project
addresses shifting regional energy dynamics
The pipeline promises industrial growth, job creation, and reduced energy transport costs across all three countries
Paraguay particularly stands to gain from infrastructure development in its underserved Chaco region.The pipeline will complement other
Bioceanic Corridor infrastructure including roads, railways, and ports
