Amazónica LNG presented an offer to supply imported natural gas to the Colombian market, with emphasis on the Caribbean region. The project requires an estimated investment of US$150 million and will begin operations in the second quarter of 2027. The terminal will have a capacity of 150 million cubic feet per day.
The onshore regasification terminal Amazónica LNG launched an offer targeted at all agents in the Colombian market for the supply of imported natural gas, with special attention to the Caribbean region. This project, which involves an investment of approximately US$150 million, is partially financed by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (Mufg) and aims to operate from the second quarter of 2027.
The offer introduces a competitive and transparent commercial scheme, including supply contracts, completion of detail engineering, and definition of capital investments. According to the company, the pricing model incorporates a fixed tariff to reduce exposure to short-term price volatility, providing greater predictability in costs, including national gas. This positions the project as an efficient alternative for growing residential, thermal, and vehicular demand.
The terminal, located at Puerto de Palermo, will employ advanced cryogenic technology with two regasification trains, a GNL tanker loader, and a dock for methaners, reaching a capacity of 150 million cubic feet per day. The gas will be delivered mainly to the National Transport System (SNT), operated by Promigas in Barranquilla, ensuring safe distribution.
Alberto Consuegra, CEO of Amazónica LNG, stated: "this new proposal constitutes a more robust and flexible solution to meet the growing energy demand of the country and particularly the Colombian Caribbean. It is a long-term investment that reinforces the energy reliability of the Caribbean region and the country".
The project has environmental and port licenses, an EPC contract with specialized companies, acquisition of a GNL molecule through an alliance with Vitol, and detail engineering completed by Wood. It will generate about 400 direct and indirect jobs during construction and operation, and strengthen over 100 local suppliers, consolidating Puerto de Palermo as a regional energy cluster.
