Brazil LNG infrastructure is entering a new growth phase as the country expands its import terminals and strengthens coastal pipeline connections.
According to the latest analysis from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the country is adding new LNG terminals and integrating them with its coastal pipeline network to strengthen supply security and support power generation needs.
Brazil currently operates several floating LNG import units along its coast, with additional terminals under construction or planned. Recent developments include new facilities in Barcarena and Suape, as well as further integration of LNG imports into the GÁS-BOL pipeline system, which links Brazil to Bolivia and southern demand centres.
The EIA notes that LNG continues to play an important balancing role in Brazil’s energy mix, especially during periods of low hydropower output. As new terminals come online, Brazil is expected to rely more heavily on flexible LNG volumes to support electricity generation, industrial demand and regional gas market integration.
These infrastructure additions position Brazil as one of the most dynamic LNG import markets in Latin America, with continued growth expected over the next several years.
