Long-term growth in Brazil
In our long-term strategy Brazil stands out as an opportunity of choice for international investment and growth. As the leading economy in the region, Brazil's energy demand is expected to grow substantially. Gas infrastructure has a key role to enable Brazil’s economic development by providing increasing quantities of affordable energy. Natural gas as part of the energy transition also reduces greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution where it replaces other fossil fuels like diesel and coal in power generation.
"We believe in Brazil and today, after more than 3 years in the country, we have developed a network of local partners, allowing us to further develop our understanding of the market and local dynamic", says Sébastien Lahouste, CEO of Fluxys Brasil. "In all we do, we put dialogue, listening and collaboration forward in order to find common ground, contribute to the success of others and build something strong together with our partners."

Value for Brazil
Our TBG-participation:
- The evolution of the Brazilian gas market and the need for security of supply combined to supporting the envisaged growth of the local gas market is where we could bring value for our stakeholders and partners in Brazil. The reform process in Brazil is similar to the gas market liberalisation that started in Europe in the late ‘90s. During that time, Fluxys has developed extensive knowledge and expertise by developing gas infrastructure companies in challenging and evolving environments over the last 2 decades.
In addition to our TBG participation, we are open to:
- participate in large scale gas or LNG infrastructure (projects), including our view to plan these assets as future multi-molecule hubs.
- considering the decarbonisation efforts of the group and the need for low carbon molecules, Fluxys is evaluating participating in large-scale hydrogen or ammonia infrastructure projects in Brazil that could enable export of these green molecules toregions where the need for a greener energy mix is high, like in Europe.
Long-term investment outlook
Actions speak louder than words: our partnership in the Brazilian section of the Bolivia-Brasil pipeline is a good example of our approach. As an energy infrastructure group we have a long-term investment outlook and we seek to build mutual understanding and strong partnerships. Our business model is to invest as shareholder in energy infrastructure companies or projects and to use our industrial and regulatory expertise to increase the long-term value of these companies.
