Macaé Now Also Has The Installation License For The New Natural Gas Processing Unit (UPGN), Which Together With TEPOR Creates The Largest Natural Gas Hub In Brazil
Good news for Macaé! The installation license for TEPOR – the city’s new port, was unanimously approved on the 11th and published on Friday (14th) by the Special Commission for Environmental Control (Ceca). In addition to creating jobs and attracting new investments for Macaé, the consolidation of TEPOR represents a milestone for Rio de Janeiro in light of the global oil, gas, and energy market recovery.
The new port of Macaé will enable logistics for exploration and production operations taking place in the Campos and Santos Basins. It is worth mentioning that Macaé already has the installation license for the new Natural Gas Processing Unit (UPGN). Together, these developments create the largest natural gas hub in Brazil, which will definitively transform the municipality into the “Energy City.”
The New Port Ensures More Investments, New Business, and Mainly Job Creation for Rio de Janeiro.
“For the State, Macaé consolidates as the main strategic operational base for the oil activities, currently responsible for ensuring job creation and more investments. In this sense, our city becomes the protagonist of a new story of development and prosperity for all of Rio de Janeiro, an important role that we advocate in Alerj and with Governor Cláudio Castro,” highlighted State Deputy Chico Machado.

“Tepor is the key piece for transforming Macaé into Energy City. The project also represents the confirmation of over R$ 25 billion in investments that will be consolidated in the city over the next five years,” emphasizes the Secretary of Economic Development, Rodrigo Vianna.
Over the course of a decade, the process of making TEPOR feasible has involved various political actors and business leaders from Macaé and the State, responsible for advocating the installation of the enterprise as a viable path to promote development and strengthen the economy of all cities in the Northern Fluminense region.
After the completion of this licensing phase, Tepor now moves into the contract signing stage with the investors who will provide the necessary resources for the execution of the works.
