According to the approval from ANP published yesterday (12/29), in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU), the new liquefied natural gas regasification terminal will be in the same region as the Novo Tempo thermoelectric plant, in Barcarena. The energy generation project is by Celba itself, which is being implemented and will be supplied with LNG loads received there.

The LNG project will have port facilities for berthing and mooring of a floating storage and regasification unit, known as FSRU in English.

Operations for transferring LNG methane vessels with a regasification capacity of up to 15 million cubic meters per day in natural gas can take place there.

The future production of the Novo Tempo plant was negotiated in advance by Celba with energy distributors, in an auction for new generation projects held by the Brazilian government at the end of 2019. According to the original schedule, the project needs to start operations in 2025.

On the radar of the investors responsible for the thermoelectric plant and the LNG terminal is not only energy generation but also gas sales to large companies in the region, located in the industrial hub of Barcarena.

About Celba

Celba, the owner of the LNG terminal project and the Novo Tempo thermoelectric plant, is an association between the Brazilian Oak Participações and a Golar Power company, a joint venture of the gas company Golar LNG with the management firm Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners.
