Hocol and Colgas launch $300M natural gas network in Córdoba to replace firewood

Hocol and Colgas are building a natural gas distribution network in Córdoba, Colombia, with an initial $300 million investment to connect 1,000 households this year, aiming to replace firewood use. Colgas plans to replicate the model to add 10,000 users. This marks a significant infrastructure shift in a region where firewood is a primary cooking fuel, with implications for health and deforestation.
