LNG Terminals in Brazil
Brazil has 29 LNG terminals mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 10th-largest fleet of the 102 countries that hold any, and 2% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 10 operating and 5 under construction or proposed. Combined LNG capacity is about 133 Mtpa. The largest is Guanabara Bay FSRU (10.95 Mtpa).
The largest owner-operators are Petróleo Brasileiro SA (4), Eneva (3) and New Fortress Energy Inc (3) — Petróleo Brasileiro SA alone is named on 14% of them. Half of Brazil's LNG terminals in service predate 2021 (median commissioning year of the 7 with a known date), 5 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Guanabara Bay FSRU, dating from 2009. 5 are in the pipeline, led by TGNL São Luis FSRU (6.39 Mtpa), proposed. They account for 2% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Brazil.
