Itaboraí Can Be Reborn as a Thermal Energy Generation Center, Says Petrobras President Who Guaranteed Investments of US$ 4B and About 7,500 Jobs for 2020 at Comperj

Petrobras will invest in thermal generation plants at Comperj, the company President announced an agreement with Equinor after ruling out the construction of a refinery at the site, as we announced here at Click Petróleo e Gás last Thursday, December 12.

According to the president, “CNPC was not interested in the project”. Furthermore, the executive stated, “it would be contradictory for Petrobras to sell its refineries and build another”. He added that studies with the Chinese company CNPC showed that constructing a refinery at Comperj would be economically unfeasible.

But not everything is lost; let’s get to the good news, Castello Branco stated that next year, about 7,500 jobs will be preserved in the region, through an investment of US$ 4 billion, about R$ 16.36 billion in direct conversion, in works at the complex with the construction of the UPGN, which will process natural gas, and the gas pipelines. The statement was made at a coffee meeting with journalists held by the company.

“The area of Itaboraí will be reborn as a major thermal generation center”. With this phrase, Petrobras President Roberto Castello Branco detailed two projects that are underway at the Petrochemical Complex of Rio de Janeiro (Comperj) in Itaboraí, during a coffee with journalists.

According to him, one project is the construction of thermal energy generation plants using natural gas from the pre-salt, which will be done in partnership with Equinor.

“There is a gas pipeline being constructed, the UPGN (Natural Gas Production Unit), (Comperj) will be an excellent location for the construction of thermal plants”, added Castello Branco.

The president of the company spoke again about utilizing Comperj to produce second-generation lubricants using pipelines from the Duque de Caxias Refinery (Reduc). The expectation is to create job openings in the region.
