Briefings

The Brazilian government launched the 'Gas for the People' program on November 10, 2026, distributing a 13kg LPG refill to approximately 3.1 million families. Eligibility requires registration with the Unified Registry, monthly income at or below half the minimum wage, and at least two years of updated registration. Families with two to three members receive a refill every three months, while those with four or more receive it every two months. The program aims to replace the 'Gas for Brazilians' initiative and is expected to reach 50 million people, though the total number of beneficiaries remains uncertain.
