Petrobras of Brazil plans to import about 60 cargoes of LNG this year, up from 56 in 2012.
“ This year, (thermoelectric demand for gas) passed industrial, rising from 49 to 51 percent.
It’s an important point and demand this year is due to be rather big ,” Reuters cited Hugo Repsold Júnior, the company’s manager of gas and energy as saying.
Petrobras imports liquefied natural gas through purchases on the spot market and offloads it through the Pecem and Guanabara Bay LNG import terminals in Brazil.
