Why is the energy transition only just if it works for everyone?
For this transition to be just, all these pillars must be considered. Different advantages or disadvantages may arise from the choices made.
Research and investments can expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce emissions from traditional sources, considering each region’s potential and climate conditions.
How is the just energy transition taking place?
The energy transition is a long-term process in which the energy sector undergoes changes to reduce emissions while maintaining different energy sources in use. In this context, oil remains part of the energy mix in the coming decades, contributing to security of supply. In Brazil, this dynamic is related to the role of pre-salt fields in oil and gas production, which have lower emissions intensity per barrel when compared with the global average.
Technologies are being implemented in our operations to support the energy transition
Technology that enables the separation of CO₂ from natural gas and its reinjection into pre-salt reservoirs, thereby helping to reduce emissions from operations.
Initiatives such as the electrification of platforms and the reduction in the use of flares increase the energy efficiency of the facilities and reduce gas emissions from production.
The modernization of refineries, through programs focused on energy efficiency, reduces energy consumption and helps lower emissions associated with oil processing.
The installation of solar power plants at refineries helps reduce emissions and increases the share of renewable energy in operations.
Investment in new fuels and more efficient refining processes makes it possible to offer products with lower emissions intensity, contributing to a reduction in emissions throughout their use.
We are producing more sustainable fuels to contribute to the energy transition

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Brazil’s energy mix consists mainly of renewable sources, oil, and natural gas. The strong presence of renewable energy means that Brazil’s energy mix is considered one of the cleanest in the world. Although the share of fossil fuels is expected to decline gradually over the coming decades, oil and natural gas remain important for meeting energy demand during the energy transition.
-
Although on the decline, oil and gas production will still be necessary to ensure energy security for Brazil and the world in the coming decades.
Responsible oil and gas exploration is compatible with efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop more sustainable products.
-
Demand for oil is expected to decline in the coming decades, but it will continue to play a necessary role in the energy mix. Taking climate change and weather conditions into account is a responsibility that is part of transition policies.
Renewable energy and decarbonization are part of the strategy for an energy transition with lower emissions and greater social inclusion.
-
Brazil's main challenge in achieving a just energy transition is to maintain—or increase—the current share of renewable energy sources in a competitive manner.

Tecnologias desenvolvidas para a transição energética justa
Combustíveis sustentáveis: uma nova geração de produtos mais eficientes e com menor intensidade de carbono
Em 2022, o uso de biocombustíveis já representava 23% da demanda de energia no setor de transporte nacional — o único país do mundo a superar a marca de 10%! E com nossos investimentos em produtos de baixo carbono e carbono neutro, esse número só tende a aumentar.
Responsabilidade ambiental - Iniciativas que integram conservação e baixo carbono
Buscamos racionalização do uso da água, como reaproveitamento e eliminação de perdas. Atuamos pela economia circular, com reuso e reciclagem de resíduos, e promovemos ações de conservação e restauração da biodiversidade. Também aprimoramos a segurança de processo e a resposta a emergências ambientais.
E não paramos por aí.
Investiremos US$ 4,3 bilhões em descarbonização até 2030.

Isso envolve também a descarbonização das operações, reduzindo as emissões de gases de efeito estufa.
Por isso, a Petrobras assume o desafio de repor reservas e produzir petróleo, ao mesmo tempo em que reduz as emissões de gases de efeito estufa e desenvolve produtos mais sustentáveis.
- A adoção de novas tecnologias a longo prazo para uma reestruturação dos sistemas energéticos existentes hoje.
- A adição de fontes de energia de origem renovável, como hidrelétricas, eólicas, solares e de biomassas.
- Combate ao desmatamento e às queimadas, responsáveis por grande parte das emissões em nosso país.
- Apoiar e desenvolver projetos ambientais, que preservam ecossistemas, que, além de reter o carbono existente nesse ambiente, preserva toda a biodiversidade existente ali.
