Since 2014, Determined by Former Mayor Quaquá, the Emissary Will Discharge into the Sea of Maricá, Rio de Janeiro, the Effluents Generated by Comperj.

At the Rio de Janeiro Petrochemical Complex — COMPERJ, operations for the construction of the Submarine Effluent Emissary are at the final stages of completion. Did you know that more than 50 Comperj workers were fired last week for clocking out 15 minutes before the end of their shift?

The works had been halted since 2014, as determined by former mayor Quaquá, due to non-compliance with requirements for counterparty obligations for the project.

The submarine emissary from Comperj will discharge the effluents generated by the Rio de Janeiro Petrochemical Complex into the sea of Itaipuaçu, about 4km from the coast.

The project was resumed after the state oil company Petrobras established a Conduct Adjustment Term (TAC) for the environmental licensing of Comperj and the Effluent Emissary.

The term involved the State Government and the Public Ministry of Rio, in the amount of R$814.5 million, to settle environmental responsibilities with the municipalities of Maricá, São Gonçalo, and Itaboraí.

The City of Maricá fined Petrobras R$25 million at the beginning of the year due to the suspension of the Sanitation System Implementation Project in the municipality, established in an agreement between the city and the company as compensation for the submarine emissary.

Railway Operated by Vale Will Be Connected to the Açu Port and Will Pass Through Comperj

In June, the Minister of Infrastructure, Tarcísio Gomes de Freitas, attended a breakfast organized by the LIDE Business Council (Group of Business Leaders) in Rio.

Freitas reported that the government has plans to connect the Vitória-Minas Railway, operated by Vale, to the Açu port, passing through the petrochemical hub Comperj, in Rio de Janeiro.

Freitas highlighted that the investment will be allocated to provide infrastructure for the Açu Port in São João da Barra, in the North of the State of Rio.

He stated that he intends to extend the Vitória-Minas Railway to Rio. To achieve this, he mentioned intending to use resources from the extension of the MRS Logística contract and federal government resources.
