Study Released by Firjan, Not Conducted Since 2014, Projects Billion-Dollar Investments Over Two to Ten Years and Indicates What the Projects Will Be in the State of Rio de Janeiro

The crisis that has struck the state of Rio de Janeiro seems to be starting to pack its bags and leave us. A study by Firjan pointed to an expected inflow of R$ 162.3 billion in investments.
The oil and natural gas sector is responsible for 82% of the potential optimism, although the study does not indicate how many jobs will be created, the expectation is that job creation will be possible after the approval of the pension reform and the improvement of public safety.

The Firjan study culminated in the publication of the “Investment Map for the State of Rio de Janeiro (2019)” which, according to it, was based on projects with confirmed financing lines or defined licenses.
Some projects have a two-year timeframe to occur, while others have longer timeframes, potentially reaching ten years.

The Projects

The gas hub at the Port of Açu, in the northern region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, for example, is already set for 2021, and the Firjan study, which was conducted again after 5 years, points to 111 confirmed projects in the state.
Of this total, 24 are from foreign initiatives, meaning 36% of the investment (R$ 59 billion), and the study also highlights the companies involved, notably Petrobras, Exxon, the French DCNS (Navy Submarines), Nissan, and CSN.

In terms of sectors, the leadership belongs to Oil and Gas, with R$ 133.2 billion in investments, with the second place going to the transformation industry, at R$ 19.8 billion.
The infrastructure sector also stands out with R$ 2.1 billion in confirmed investments in the capital, Rio de Janeiro.

Fluminense economics specialist and UFRJ economics professor, Mauro Osório, explains that even with an investment of R$ 133.2 billion in the Oil and Gas sector, it needs to be analyzed how much of this amount will remain in Rio de Janeiro, as only 16% of suppliers in this sector are located in the state.

Since Oil is sold outside the state, the ICMS will not be collected where it is sold, and it is also a sector that uses many imported equipment.

For these investments to be maximized, a favorable environment needs to be created by the government, as many are foreign and will require, for example, the approval of reforms and improvements in public safety.
The specialist also highlighted that Rio de Janeiro needs to diversify its investments and not rely on Oil as it has happened before with a not-so-good track record.

Petrobras Will Invest US$ 27 Billion in the Pre-Salt and US$ 20 Billion in the Post-Salt!

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.

Brazil already has the largest electric buses in daily operation in the world: Goiânia has put 28-meter giants from Volvo on the streets to transform urban transport, placing the country at the center of a new showcase for urban mobility.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

With 93 companies selling armored vehicles, aircraft, and monitoring systems to 148 countries, Brazil’s defense industry is doubling exports and is on track to break all records in 2026.

Brazil and Sweden finalize a military agreement to jointly train pilots, share experiences with the Gripen fighter, and allow Swedish crews of the KC-390 to train on Brazilian soil over the next two years.

Scientists warn that Earth’s oxygen has an expiration date and that the Sun itself will be responsible for ending the air we breathe by making photosynthesis impossible in about one billion years.
