Smart gas production: towards social integration and environmental responsibility

Galileo Technologies has successfully implemented its liquefaction technology in the Jaguatirica II project, a key thermoelectric plant for the state of Roraima, Brazil. In collaboration with Eneva, Galileo has managed to generate an energy alternative that not only solves a local crisis, but also respects the environment and local communities.

 

The energy problem in Roraima has been aggravated by the state's dependence on Venezuela, resulting in frequent power outages. Galileo's solution, implemented at the Campo do Azulão field in Amazonia, guarantees the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) through a modular system of 6 treatment plants and 40 Cryobox liquefaction stations. This process supplies 500 tons of LNG per day, which are transported 1,300 km to the Jaguatirica II plant, which generates 117 MW, covering 70% of the state's electricity needs.

 

 

This is one of Galileo Technologies' most ambitious projects. They not only set out to solve the region's energy crisis, but to do so with minimal environmental impact, avoiding the construction of gas pipelines that would have affected the Amazon rainforest and obtaining the consent of more than 50 indigenous communities.

 

The project demonstrates the viability of Galileo, integrating fields previously considered unviable, such as Campo do Azulão, into the energy production and consumption network. This disruptive approach allows isolated regions to access energy without the need for massive infrastructure.

 

Furthermore, the Reservoir-to-Wire (R2W) model enables efficient and sustainable power generation, without the need for extensive distribution networks, significantly reducing the environmental impact.

 

Galileo Technologies reaffirms its commitment to responsible energy development, marking a milestone in the transition towards more sustainable and equitable energy sources.
