A world reference in LNG, Golar Power applies for the Installation License for the natural gas terminal in Santa Catarina and intends to generate many jobs in the region
The multinational Golar Power is implementing the Terminal Gás Sul (TGS) in Babitonga Bay, in the municipality of São Francisco do Sul, in Santa Catarina. The investment is R$ 400 million and should generate 1.275 indirect jobs.

The government of Santa Catarina brought together executives to guide the project to install a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in the state. To this end, the next steps in the process will be monitored by a technical group with representatives of the bodies involved, as well as specialists in the energy and gas sector.

Golar Power has sought to invest heavily in Brazil. In March of this year, the company and the Government of the State of Pernambuco signed a protocol of intentions for new private investments in the Suape Complex. The initiative is a liquefied natural gas distribution terminal, with the prospect of generating 300 direct and indirect jobs in the region.
About the LNG terminal in Santa Catarina
The project in São Francisco do Sul includes a floating liquefied natural gas unit and a small gas pipeline, about 30 kilometers long, which includes a two-kilometer submarine stretch in Babitonga Bay. The ship will be 300 meters from the coast.
The FSRU will have the capacity to supply 15 million cubic meters of fuel per day to supply local industries, such as ceramics, metalworking and glass, in addition to supplying the demand for thermoelectric plants in regions close to the enterprise and generating jobs in the state.
