The railway would be a continuation of Vitória a Minas, departing from Cariacica and arriving at Ubu, in Anchieta, close to Samarco. In the first phase of the works, at least 1.000 jobs should be created in the State.

Gas pipeline R$ 8,9 billion in investments – expansion of the oil and gas sector Route 6.

Proposal: the Energy Research Company (EPE) is studying the implementation of a new gas transport pipeline along Route 6, with a capacity of 15 million m per day.

The two states want to launch a new gas flow pipeline along Route 6, in addition to offering incentives to gas producers to set up a new Natural Gas Processing Unit (UPGN) in Espírito Santo, to process gas from the Pão de Açúcar field, in Rio de Janeiro.

There is also a forecast for the construction of a new pipeline to transport natural gas from Espírito Santo to Minas Gerais (from the south of the state to Belo Horizonte, with a length of 480 kilometers).
