Eneva, a company that transforms oil and gas into energy, purchased the Macaé Port Terminal (TEPOR). The asset requires investments that easily exceed R$ 1 billion. According to the company’s CEO, Pedro Zinner, Eneva intends to develop a gas hub with associated infrastructure, and a regasification terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG). Currently, Eneva’s gas is called ‘gas to wire’, consisting of the use of gas extracted in Amazonas and Maranhão for thermal supply in the well-known ‘well mouth’ and, immediately afterward, to drain the generated electrical energy throughout the country. The location of Macaé is strategic for Eneva. The site has the ability to have access to imported gas and even pre-salt gas, which is much more competitive when compared to imported gas. TEPOR already has environmental licenses. The site must have a liquid terminal and also offshore support, in addition to another terminal for the movement of oil. The project also foresees two berths capable of handling up to 2 million barrels of oil daily.
