The President of Petrobras Joaquim Silva e Luna participated this Thursday in an online event of Credit Suisse bank and on this occasion stated that the state-owned company increased imports, going from almost 40 vessels to about 130 LNG vessels.

This increase in liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers from Petrobras occurred so that Brazil could continue generating electricity. Specifically, through thermal power plants.

Petrobras Imported an Average of 23 Million Cubic Meters of LNG Per Day in 2021

The increase in imports of liquefied natural gas by Petrobras was around 200%, compared to 2020, according to data from the state-owned company itself.

In 2021, Petrobras imported an average of 23 million cubic meters (m³) of LNG per day on its vessels. In 2020, the daily volume averaged 7.5 million cubic meters.

The main import destinations for Petrobras’s LNG are the United States, Trinidad & Tobago, and Qatar. According to data from the National Electric System Operator (ONS), thermal generation from natural gas increased by 62.5% in 2021 compared to 2020 and 47.2% compared to 2019.

2021 – 7.8 GW average
2020 – 4.8 GW average
2019 – 5.3 GW average

Why Does Brazil Import LNG?

Part of the natural gas produced in Brazil is not utilized due to a lack of pipelines for flow. The pipeline network in the country is 9,400 kilometers long. Very small, according to experts.

In 2020, to give an idea, the LNG supply increased by 211%. Production rose from 8.4 to 26.1 million cubic meters per day, according to data from the Ministry of Mines and Energy and the National Petroleum Agency (ANP). As a result, 45% of the gas produced was reinjected.
