About The Case

The Court of Justice of Rio (TJ-RJ) had issued a decision that prevented the São Paulo state government from revoking the refinery’s registration, due to debts of R$ 2.7 billion with the government of São Paulo. The justice system in Rio understood that the request would hinder the company’s judicial recovery plan.

According to Raquel Dodge, the refinery is characterized as a “chronic debtor,” as the company would not be passing on taxes to the entire operational chain, harming the state of Rio de Janeiro, and states: “the immediate execution of the effects of the challenged decision hinders the provision of public services, considering the importance of the tax for the state budget.”

Another concern of the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) is that the TJ’s measure in favor of the refinery allows other companies to also avoid paying taxes.
The debt with the state of São Paulo can reach R$ 13 billion per year and become unpayable, making the company unrecoverable, according to the PGR.

With the revocation of the state registration, the Manguinhos refinery (Refit) will not be able to issue tax documents in São Paulo, but will continue operations, as it is based in Rio de Janeiro.

Founded in 1954, the Manguinhos Refinery, located in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro, is one of the few private refineries in the country and is responsible for the daily processing of 15,000 barrels of oil.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
