About the LNG Terminal in Bahia

The terminal in Bahia (TR-BA), an island-type pier with all facilities for berthing and mooring an FSRU (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit), has an associated gas pipeline that is 45 kilometers long.

The TR-BA has a maximum regasification capacity of 20 million cubic meters per day. The transfer of LNG is done directly between the FSRU and the supplier in a side-by-side configuration.

Transactions Occur Amid Discussions in Congress for Approval of the New Gas Law

The New Gas Law (PL 6.407/2013) establishes the authorization regime for new gas pipelines, offering greater freedom to investors, reducing the cost of cooking gas, benefiting the entire population, among other changes. With Petrobras’ exit as the dominant operator in the sector, the project aims to stimulate competitiveness.

The new natural gas framework is expected to attract around R$ 60 billion in investments for Brazil and has the capacity to generate 4 million jobs, including 15,000 jobs in Espírito Santo alone.
