Companies operating in Brazil have expanded the country’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification infrastructure since 2020, more than doubling its import capacity as the country seeks to diversify its energy supply and enhance energy security. Brazil’s regasification capacity grew from 2.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2020 to 5.1 Bcf/d in August 2025.

In 2024, three new terminals added an estimated 1.74 Bcf/d of capacity: New Fortress Energy’s Barcarena Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) with a capacity of 0.75 Bcf/d, Terminal Gás Sul FSRU (0.50 Bcf/d), and Compass Gás & Energia’s Cosan terminal (0.50 Bcf/d). Terminals installed prior to 2024 include Sepetiba Bay FSRU (0.36 Bcf/d), Porto do Açu FSRU (0.74 Bcf/d), Sergipe FSRU (0.74 Bcf/d), Bahia FSRU (0.71 Bcf/d), and Guanabara Bay FSRU (0.80 Bcf/d).
