The resumption of the auction for the project guaranteed new billionaire investments by Oncorp for its realization. The natural gas regasification terminal at the Port of Suape already has partnerships with Shell and Termopernambuco for the coming years.
After the suspension of the selection process by the National Waterway Transport Agency (Antaq), the project for the regasification of natural gas at the Port of Suape, in Pernambuco, will come to fruition. For this Tuesday, (20/12), the company Oncorp has an investment of R$ 2 billion expected to be invested in the project, thus guaranteeing its completion in the coming years. The natural gas terminal already has partnerships planned and will be essential for the growth of the product's hub in Pernambuco.
Natural gas regasification terminal project at the Port of Suape will finally come to fruition, with billionaire investments from Oncorp to complete the plant
The new directions for the fuel market in the Port of Suape are quite optimistic, after the contracts of the state government and Oncorp for the resumption of the natural gas regasification terminal project in the Port of Suape.
The Governor of Pernambuco, Paulo Câmara, will announce in the next few days the deadline for starting work on the new development in the region, but the certainty is that the project will go ahead.

The company Oncorp is committing to make a total investment of BRL 2 billion for the completion of the regasification terminal, as this is an essential undertaking for the future of the fuel market in the state.
This is a very old project for the state, but its selection process had been suspended by Antaq. Now, with the resumption of the autonomy of the Port of Suape, the project can be taken forward.
The agency suspended the auction for the terminal even before the submission of bids, thus ensuring the stoppage of movement by interested parties in the natural gas regasification terminal.
With the resumption of the selection process, Oncorp presented the only proposal that was qualified.
The company operates in the generation and provision of services in the energy sector in Brazil and Argentina, and intends to use the new terminal as a bridge to its growth in the national gas market.
Shell will be the first supplier of the new regasification terminal at the Port Complex, while Termopernambuco will receive the plant's natural gas
Even in the early stages of its implementation, after years of development, the Porto de Suape regasification terminal project is already bearing fruit in the state.
Oncorp has already secured important partnerships for the future of the venture, such as the one signed with the oil company Shell, which will be responsible for supplying natural gas to the plant.
Termopernambuco, a 498 MW thermoelectric plant, which won last year's reserve capacity auction, will be the first to receive the gas.
The company's investment of R$ 2 billion will be used to lease an area of 33.375 meters for the construction of the project, in addition to other costs.
Among them, the main ones are with the waterway reception system, pier and mooring infrastructure, gas pipeline and the custody transfer station.
According to Oncorp and the Port of Suape, once completed, the new natural gas regasification terminal will be responsible for employing more than 240 people.
Thus, the project will contribute to the socioeconomic development of the entire state of Pernambuco in the coming years.
