Imetame LNG Terminal is a proposed LNG Terminal in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. As of July 2023, no further development of the project has been reported for more than two years, so it is presumed to be shelved.

Location

The proposed terminal would be located in the Imetame Logística port complex near Aracruz, Espírito Santo state, Brazil.

Background

The Imetame LNG terminal would supply natural gas to the 1638 MW Imetame I power station proposed by Imetame Energia near their headquarters in Aracruz, Espírito Santo state. Imetame Energia obtained a preliminary permit for the power plant from Brazil's environmental regulatory authority Ibama in October 2019, allowing the project to compete in Brazil's future national energy auctions. Construction of the terminal was to depend on the success of the power plant project in the auctions. In January 2020, Total Gas & Power Business Services signed a letter of intention to supply gas for the project, whose anticipated start date was expected to be as early as 2025, pending results of the energy auctions.

According to a July 2021 report from Brazil's national energy research agency, the Imetame terminal remained in the licensing phase, still awaiting a final investment decision.

As of July 2023, no further development of the Imetame Terminal has been reported for more than two years, so it is presumed to be shelved.
