National Unification Gas Pipeline (Gas Unificacao – GASUN) will be a 5,000-kilometers long natural gas pipeline in Brazil. GASUN will connect the Gasbol pipeline with the northern Amazon and the Northeast states (Pará, Tocantins, Maranhão and Piauí] allowing transportation of Bolivian gas into these regions. The project is expected to cost $2.48 billion.

The first stage of GASUN will begin in Mimoso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and will join the Gasbol pipeline. From there it will run towards Brasília, passing through Goiânia.[1] Construction of this section started in 2005, and scheduled to be completed in 2007.

The longest and most costly portion of GASUN will be the 2,260-kilometers long central-north branch, which is to connect Goiás and Maranhão. It will pass through Palmas and Belém, Pará. The entire natural gas pipeline should be complete by 2026.[1]
