The Withdrawal From Building the Refinery Aligns With the Government’s Thinking to Reduce Petrobras’ Stake in Refining, and the Construction of a Thermal Power Plant in the Area Gains Momentum

Petrobras announced that Comperj, in Itaboraí, may cease to be a Petrochemical Complex and transform into a Thermal Power Plant.
As the state-owned company is already constructing the UPGN (Natural Gas Processing Unit) on site, the intention is to use natural gas from the Pre-salt to generate electricity.

With Petrobras’ confirmation to withdraw from the works, this will impact the agreement with the Chinese CNPC, which was to build Comperj together, with the Chinese state-owned company holding a small stake in the refinery.

The Thermal Power Plant

The new thermal power plant to be built in place of Comperj does not yet have a defined capacity, but its construction will replace Comperj in creating jobs in Itaboraí and the surrounding area.

During the construction of Comperj, it was estimated that 200,000 direct and indirect jobs would be created, and today the project has narrowed down to Petrobras’ ongoing search for partners to complete the works.

The Thermal Power Plant

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.
