Prumo Reported in Interview That the Thermoelectric Plant and GNL Terminals Will Transform the Port of Açu into a National Reference and the Most Important in Rio

The Port of Açu is once again highlighted in the national and global press due to the management of Prumo. As one of the most comprehensive projects currently in Rio de Janeiro with offshore terminals, merchant import/export, and metal-mechanical industry within the enterprise, the company’s shareholding base trembled with optimism when it was announced the hiring for the works of the thermoelectric plant that are happening at this moment.

Just like what happened in Macaé in 1977, the city only had 60,000 inhabitants when it was founded and experienced a population “BOOM” when the Campos Basin was established and Petrobras was installed in the city. Consequently, the municipality of São João da Barra, where the Port of Açu is located, will suffer the same impact. The municipal authorities are already mobilizing, but there are still concerns about the city’s infrastructure, after all, not long ago, the place was affectionately nicknamed “Paradise,” due to the beautiful hideaways and paradisiacal beaches.

Prumo Logistics manages a similar enterprise at the port of Antwerp, Belgium, where there is also a 1.7GW thermoelectric plant. The power that will be installed at Açu is somewhat more ambitious, around 6.4W to meet the energy supply for all the companies located in the complex and others that will still set up. The gas that will power the plant will come from the pre-salt, and the rest for the GNL terminals, for the companies that will use the fuel in their operational processes; perhaps the surplus will be provided to the population at fairer prices.

The president of Prumo in Brazil, José Magela, has ambitious plans beyond those already underway, with the future implementation of a wind farm in the region, as the city is on the coast and this type of project is completely favorable and will be on the agenda in the future. Some of the companies currently established at the Port of Açu are National Oilwell Varco (NOV), TechnipFMC, Wärtsilä, InterMoor, Edison Chouest, Vallourec, BP Prumo, Anglo American, BG Brasil, Oil Tanking, among others.
