NEOgas do Brazil (“NEOgas” or “the Company”) is a leading provider of off-pipeline natural gas solutions in Latin America. The Company is utilizing its own proprietary equipment design and technology and operates in Brazil, Peru, Mexico and Colombia where it supplies Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) by trailer to remote areas that are not serviced by existing gas pipelines. NEOgas’ two main customer segments are; (i) retail CNG stations, and; (ii) industrial consumers. NEOgas operations are structured in “clusters” which usually encompass a compression station, a set of trailers to transport the gas, and delivery units (Reduction and Control Unit-RCU and Hydraulic Pressure Unit – HPU) at client premises. Depending on the existing infrastructure, new compression stations are built or existing ones, from third parties, are used. IFC is considering a C-loan to finance the Company’s short term capital expansion program in its existing markets (“the Project”). Investments will be focused on acquisition of additional new equipment to support growth in Peru, Mexico, Colombia and Brazil.
