NEW YORK — New Fortress Energy’s (NFE) offshore Barcarena LNG terminal, at the entrance to the Amazon River in Pará, Brazil, has started operations.
The development includes the Energos Celsius FSRU on site.
According to the company, the terminal is the sole natural gas supply source in the state of Pará and Brazil’s North region.
The complex will supply 6 MMt/year of LNG to various industrial customers, including Norsk Hydro’s Alunorte refinery, said to be the world’s largest alumina refinery in the world.
NFE claims it will cut the refinery’s annual CO2 emissions by about 700,000 metric tons annually.
In addition, Barcarena will supply gas to NFE’s 630-MW power plant, currently under construction alongside the terminal. It should be ready for service during third-quarter 2025.
NFE has further plans to use the infrastructure to expand its power complex by 1.6 GW under a New Power Project PPA.
Elsewhere, the company has secured financing commitments of $700 million for a second FLNG project at Altamira, Mexico, and expects to complete construction early in 2026.
