Açu Natural Gas (GNA) Received Its First LNG Shipment From Açu Port To Commission Thermal Power Plant And Regasification Terminal

A joint venture formed by BP, Siemens, and Prumo Logística, Açu Natural Gas (GNA), announced yesterday (12/04) that it received its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipment at its regasification terminal at Açu Port. OPEC Meeting Expectations Drive Oil Barrel Prices Up

The shipment, containing about 140 thousand cubic meters of liquefied natural gas (LNG), will be used to commission the terminal and the UTE GNA I thermal power plant.

Açu Natural Gas estimates that in the first half of this year, the power plant, which has an installed capacity of 1.34 gigawatts (GW), will commence operations.

At the end of last year, the government of Rio de Janeiro granted the operating license. The project is part of an electricity park that will comprise two thermal plants and the project involving the regasification terminal,

With about five days of operation, the first shipment to the terminal at Açu Port was supplied by the tanker Kmarin Emerald from BP.

According to Açu Natural Gas, the LNG was transferred to the FSRU BW Magna, an integral part of the asset, which has the capacity to regasify and move up to 21 million cubic meters of gas per day.

“We have completed another important phase of the GNA project with great efficiency… We are getting closer to the commercial operation of our first plant,” said Bernardo Perseke, the CEO of GNA.

According to BP, the operation with natural gas is “a milestone” for Brazil’s energy transition. The company’s president in Brazil, Mario Lindenhayn, also believes that gas plays a role in the company’s environmental goals.

“We have the ambition to be a carbon-neutral company by 2050, and gas is part of this process. The arrival of the first LNG shipment is a milestone for the progress of the project that will bring even more investments and diversity to the Brazilian energy portfolio,” he stated.
