New Fortress Energy’s Barcarena LNG terminal in Brazil begins operations

New Fortress Energy’s 6 MTPA – 300 TBtu – Barcarena LNG terminal located in Para, Brazil is now operational with the Energos Celsius Floating Storage Regasification Unit on-site. NFE‘s Barcarena LNG terminal is located at the mouth of the Amazon River in Para, Brazil and serves as the sole natural gas supply source in the state of Para and the North region of Brazil. The facility consists of an offshore terminal and FSRU that will supply LNG to several industrial customers, including a 15-year contract with Norsk Hydro’s Alunorte refinery, the largest alumina refinery in the world. NFE expects to immediately begin delivering natural gas to Norsk Hydro’s Alunorte refinery under a 15-year gas supply agreement. NFE will supply the alumina production facility with approximately 30 TBtus of natural gas annually, reducing the refinery’s annual CO2 emissions by an estimated 700,000 tonnes per annum. The Barcarena terminal will also supply natural gas to NFE’s 630 MW power plant, which is currently under construction adjacent to the Barcarena terminal. The power plant remains on track to achieve COD in 3Q25 and is approximately 50% complete. NFE has applied to transfer the New Power Project PPA to a permitted site adjacent to the Barcarena terminal and expects close the acquisition in Q1, subject to regulatory approval.
