Fergrro, Tokantins Waterway and Equatorial Margin: Environmental Impactions in Paraceous Works | The economy
At the end of the first quarter of 2025, projects for the development of Para’s infrastructure and energy development have obstacles to exercise. The IronA. Tokantins waterway And the project of Equatorial margin They encounter a combination of unfavorable technical opinions, environmental questions and legal imports. While the authorities must uphold the organizations, the associations are warning about risks to the environment and life of the traditional population.
FerGro: Between the promise of logistics and the warnings of science
Plan about a thousand kilometers, fergrro Miritituba (PA) connects the district with Sinop (MT)Working a A special corridor for grain flow. However, in March this year, the new technical opinion on the social and environmental impact of the project organized by the Ministry of Transport has rebounded.
Report, a report prepared by scientists Infrastructure and Social -Socialization Justice Working Group (GT Infra)Pointed out that the railroad was Can trigger the extermination of more than 2 thousand kmIn addition Directly affect rivers of Amazon, public forests, indigenous lands and conservation units. Some of the main factors are criticized by assessing cumulative effects, ignored climate losses and land grab prevention failures.
In addition, the intensive barcake traffic compromises water quality and fishing on the railroad river river – the action necessary for the reverside communities. The tapazose basin, which is considered the most sensitive on Amazon, is at the center of concerns.
The Liberal Group is looking forward to a note from the Ministry of Transportation responsible for the project.
Tokantins waterway: Licenses and pending consultations in conflict
Another project that stopped Tokantins is the waterway, which It depends on the removal of Pedral Do Laureno – it is a rock structure that blocks full navigation between Marabe and Tukurus during the drought period. This work, which is considered to be crucial to the waterway of the region, faces legal and environmental resistance.
DNIT (National Transport Infrastructure Department) in 2022, despite Ibama’s pre -license, is the Federal Prosecutor’s Office Asks the legitimacy of the process. In February 2025, the court rejected the request to cancel the license on a ban. However, this decision does not mean immediate progress: Fanai and Inkra have banned the approval of any new license until the impact studies on the indigenous lands and the Qilombo communities are completed.
In a new judicial exhibition at the end of March, the MPF license strengthened requests to cancel, alleged Technical errors E. Errors in free, pre -information consultation to the affected population.
The Liberal Group is looking for a note from the National Department of Transport Infrastructure (DNIT), which is responsible for the project.
Equatorial Margin: Power boundary under surveillance
Already on the coast, Petrobras So -En Soul -Power faces resistance to explore oil in the equator margin, a Rio Grande has a portion of the broad coastal track from Do Norte to Amapa. The Black 59 is located at a distance of 175 km from the Aamapa coast and 540 km from Fose Do Amazonas.
In May 2023, Ibama has already condemned the environmental license to drill the exploratory well. In February 2025, the agency’s technicians reiterated the negative recommendation, pointed out The gaps in the current studies of the oceanWere, and,, and,, and,, and,.. Failures in Communication with local groups – especially indigenous – and Lack of an effective aircraft to have oil leaks.
Even without permission to start the search, the petrobras insisted on the feasibility of the project. The state -ownership company has promised to drill $ 3 billion and 15 wells in the area, as well as establishing the largest emergency response construction in the national project.
Meanwhile, Ibama has no date for the final decision, and the National Petroleum Agency has already scheduled for a new block auction in the area – which further lit up the debate on the direction of energy and environmental protection in Brazil.
In a statement to the report, the Para Federation of Industries (FIIEPA) argues that infrastructure investments are considered in advance of the development of any region and emphasize the production of enormous productive capacity and wealth, however, which is limited by “logistical batens”.
“We have been talking about decades of decades of debate. For example, a structural solution to the production flow of the pargroo, midwest and west region, the synop is connected to the mirituba and, in the future, Santaram.
The same logic applies to Tokantins waterway. Pedral Do Laureno is a fake environmental barrier that has been famous for over 30 years. It has already approved a project, bidding, the defined schedule – and nothing has come up. If it is an obstacle, exceeds, the waterway mode for pare and Brazil makes it effective and consistent. Arguing that the license must be issued by Ibama, not by Semas, because the river was born outside the state, fragile justification. If we go this way, no national project will get out of paper, ”the entity pointed out.
The Liberal Group is waiting for Petrobras and Ibama notes on the project.
