Ações que desenvolvemos
Actions we develop
The program aims to develop a new generation of fuels, more modern and sustainable, produced from renewable or residual raw materials.
We plan to have biodiversity action plans in place at 100% of our facilities by 2025 and increase conservation efforts by 30% by 2030.
We have been developing and evaluating technologies that contribute focused on the advanced biofuels segment and low-carbon energy.
And we want more: we also intend to influence all our partners to achieve the same in non-operated assets.
Brazil has all the conditions to be a global protagonist of a fair energy transition. And we, at Petrobras, have all the conditions to lead this movement in the country. See why.
Tecnologias
Technologies developed for the fair energy transition
Carbon capture
Our CO2 capture, use and geological storage (CCUS) program in the pre-salt fields is already the largest in the world, in terms of volume reinjected annually.
Electrified oil platforms
Have you ever imagined an oil production platform powered solely by electricity, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 20%? This project is very close to becoming a reality at Petrobras.
Technology to separate and reinject CO2, preventing its emission into the atmosphere
Our unique Hi-SEP technology will separate CO2-rich gas from oil still on the seabed and reinject it into the reservoir. The Mero 3 Field, in the Libra block, located in the pre-salt of the Campos Basin, will be the first to use the technology.
Closed flare to prevent burning on the platform torch
Our closed flare technology increases gas utilization in a safe and sustainable way and prevents it from being released into the atmosphere. Its use is aligned with the World Bank’s Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative, defined as one of our six Sustainability Commitments.
Combustíveis sustentáveis
Sustainable Fuels: a new generation of more efficient and less carbon-intensive products
We are pioneers in the development of technology for the production of diesel oil with renewable content and we are going to implement the first unit in Brazil entirely dedicated to the production of aviation biokerosene (BioQAV).
In 2022, biofuels already accounted for 23% of energy demand in the national transportation sector — the only country in the world to surpass the 10% mark! And with our Investments in low-carbon and carbon-neutral products, this number is only set to increase.

Responsabilidade ambiental
Environmental Responsibility - Initiatives that integrate conservation and low carbon
Petrobras Socio-Environmental Program
We work in partnership with civil society organizations, with the aim of promoting positive social and environmental transformations in society.
Water Resources
Water is essential in Petrobras' operations, which works with continuous management of water resources and effluents, with a focus on safety and integrity.
Conservation and Reforestation
We expanded investments in forest preservation and restoration with native species, combining carbon sequestration with social and environmental benefits.
Conservation of marine biodiversity
We work to prevent and mitigate impacts on biodiversity in sensitive areas, with our own standards and support for socio-environmental projects.
Voluntary contributions
Petrobras’ voluntary initiatives offset GHG emissions with carbon credits, reinforcing its commitment to decarbonization.
Improving our products, modernizing our facilities, and preserving ecosystems: all of this is environmental responsibility. In our activities, we seek to act with guiding principles of ethical and transparent behavior.
We seek to rationalize water use, such as reuse and elimination of losses. We work towards a circular economy, with reuse and recycling of waste, and we promote actions to conserve and restore biodiversity. We also improve process safety and response to environmental emergencies.

And we don't stop there.
We will invest USD 5.3 billion in decarbonization by 2029.
Our Strategic Plan 2050 and Business Plan 2025-2029 also foresee a total investment of USD 16.3 billion in energy transition.

Learn more about energy transition.
In simple terms, energy transition é is the gradual shift from non-renewable energy sources — such as petroleum-based fossil fuels — to more sustainable alternatives.
This also involves decarbonization of operations, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
This also involves decarbonization of operations, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
A fair energy transition needs to consider sustainability, equality and inclusion above all. In other words: the focus is on migrating to cleaner energy, but without leaving anyone behind, neither workers nor consumers.
An energy transition that “leaves no one behind” is one that provides affordable energy while ensuring access to quality jobs and fostering local entrepreneurship.
Energy transition is important to ensure the energy the world needs in a more sustainable way, reducing damage to the environment. In practice, this happens when we look for ways to generate and offer this energy with lower greenhouse gas emissions, such as biofuels, wind and solar energy.
The first step towards an energy transition é is the gradual increase in energy production from renewable sources, such as wind, solar and biofuels. This will make it possible to produce electricity at a lower cost, which will be crucial for reducing oil consumption.
Despite decreasing, oil and gas production will still be necessary to guarantee the energy security of Brazil and the world in the coming decades.
Therefore, Petrobras is taking on the challenge of replenishing reserves and producing oil, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and developing more sustainable products.
Therefore, Petrobras is taking on the challenge of replenishing reserves and producing oil, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and developing more sustainable products.
There are multiple options for decarbonization routes that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They include:
- The adoption of new technologies in the long term to restructure the existing energy systems.
- The addition of renewable energy sources , such as hydroelectric, wind, solar and biomass.
- Combating deforestation and fires, which are responsible for a large part of emissions in our country.
- Support and develop environmental projects that preserve ecosystems, which, in addition to retaining the carbon present in that environment, preserve all the biodiversity that exists there.
Brazil's main challenge in the fair energy transition is to maintain — or increase — the current presence of renewable energy sources in a competitive manner.
Although demand for oil is expected to fall in the coming decades, it will continue to be present. Therefore, taking climate change and conditions into account is an ethical responsibility that is part of our policies. We work to offer solutions in new energy and decarbonization, seeking a fair energy transition, with fewer emissions and more social inclusion.
