Ibama Authorizes French Group EDF to Construct Norte Fluminense 2 Thermal Power Plant in Macaé (RJ); About 1800 Jobs Will Be Created in the Municipality

Many jobs are coming for the construction of the Norte Fluminense 2 natural gas thermal power plant. Ibama granted, last Thursday (1/7), the four-year environmental license for the French group Electricité de France (EDF) – owner of the Norte Fluminense 1 plant, which has been in operation since 2004. Another good news for the region is that the Civil construction works in the Açu Port, of the Oil Group modular refinery, are expected to start in July.

With the license in hand, the French company can register the power plant project in a future federal government auction for new energy. If chosen, the company will define the construction schedule for the project.

With an estimated duration of 48 months to complete the construction, the power plant’s works will begin as soon as the installation license is issued by Ibama.

The Norte Fluminense 2 natural gas thermal power plant in Macaé (RJ) will have a capacity of 1.7 GW. The largest fossil generation agent currently in operation, the Porto de Sergipe I plant, has a granted capacity of 1.5 GW, according to Aneel data.

One of the suppliers for the plant will be the Cabiúnas UPGN, which processes natural gas from the Campos and Santos basins, however the environmental impact report (Rima) presented indicates other alternatives such as pre-salt gas via Rota-2 or a floating LNG regasification terminal at the planned Macaé Port Terminal (Tepor).

To supply the Norte Fluminense 2 plant in Macaé, a gas pipeline will be built from Cabiúnas, within the same easement as the gas pipeline of the Nossa Senhora de Fátima plant, a project of BP and Eneva, which has already been licensed by Ibama.

Specifications and Curiosities About the Implemented UTE to Be Implemented in Macaé

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

The largest precious metals mine under construction in the world is situated on a layer of ore 25 times thicker than common mines in South Africa, and has just connected a third shaft that will quintuple the extraction of platinum, palladium, and gold.

China returned nearly 20 Brazilian ships with soybeans and now threatens up to $60 billion of the national agribusiness with a plan to cut imports, reduce beef purchases, and decrease Chinese demand for the grain by 25% by 2030.

Brazil exports 1.5 million tons of beef to China, but the tariff-free quota covers only 1.1 million, and now the government is rushing to renegotiate the cap before the sector pays a 55% tax on nearly 400,000 tons of surplus.
