Abstract

This article analyses the negotiations for the transfer of the Belém gas plant to the eastern part of the city of Lisbon; the construction of the Matinha gas plant and the organization of its production process; and the evolution of gas consumption in Lisbon in the period between 1889 —when a new gas company appeared in Lisbon— and 1957, at which time the operation of the Matinha gas plant was taken up by a new company, marking the end of gas production from coal.
