The investment in the new HDT will be US$ 458 million, and it is expected that approximately 3,000 direct jobs and another 3,000 indirect jobs will be generated in the region during the construction period. With this unit, the fourth HDT at Replan, all diesel produced at the refinery will be low sulfur, in addition to allowing an increase in the production of aviation kerosene (QAV).

“Petrobras continues to focus on improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, adapting refineries and preparing to remain competitive. In the next five years, the company predicts investments of US$ 6.1 billion in Refining, aiming to expand refining capacity and to position the refineries among the best in the world in efficiency and operational performance”, said the state-owned company.
