There Are 3 Units Planned Within the Macaé Logistics and Industrial Complex (CLIMA) That Will Be Built and Expected to Create 1,500 Jobs

The current Mayor of Macaé, Dr. Aluízio, validates another step towards the economic optimization of the city by signing the permit that allows the construction of the Macaé Logistics and Industrial Complex (CLIMA). It is expected that 3 thermoelectric plants named Vale Azul 1, Vale Azul 2, and Vale Azul 3 will be installed within the project. But as the name suggests “COMPLEX,” it will not only accommodate thermoelectric plants but also systems to process gas from refineries and even some factories.

The municipal government says that around 1,500 job opportunities are expected to be created just by establishing the Vale 2 unit, with an initial investment amounting to 1 billion reais. There is a production discharge pipeline from the pre-salt called ROTA 2, which passes through the municipality and will be used to supply the thermoelectric plants.

Among the companies involved in the construction of CLIMA are Agrivale Incorporation and Construction S.A, Santa Clara Enterprises, and EBTE Engineering. The latter managed to obtain the rights from Queiroz Galvão to carry out the works and operate the Tepor (Port Terminal of Macaé).

Speaking of Tepor, one of the parameters of this project is that CLIMA should be interconnected via Santa Tereza Road for operations of the future port, which has already been approved for construction. This interconnection will occur via RJ-168 and will facilitate the logistics of incoming and outgoing cargo from the municipality, which will minimize heavy vehicle traffic through the urban perimeter of the city.

Macaé’s legislators have apparently learned their lesson after the “shock” of the crisis, which economically impacted the city in ways never seen before. Recently, important projects that were previously shelved have started to materialize, reducing dependence on taxes and royalties from the oil industry. Did you know that AKER SOLUTIONS will also install a new factory in the city? Check out the details here.
