The representative of the petrochemical company stated that there is no updated information regarding the commercialization of Novonor’s stake. So far, there has been no progress in the sale process.

As of the ninth month of 2024, Braskem has reserved R$ 3.2 billion, leaving R$ 2.4 billion for the period after the third quarter of 2025, when the company plans to finalize the closure of the wells and urban mobility projects in the city.

Shortly, the PCF (financial compensation program) will be completed, according to what was said. The company has already allocated R$ 5.7 billion for the development of the program, with R$ 4.4 billion already spent.

Braskem Does Not Rule Out Possibility of Confidential Negotiation

However, the employee did not rule out the possibility that the negotiation has progressed, as it is ongoing in secret.

“Braskem is not involved in the negotiations,” he emphasized.

Freitas stated that Braskem plans to finalize the actions of the relocation and compensation plan for the residents of Maceió affected by the soil subsidence, which led to the closure of several neighborhoods in the Alagoas capital in early 2024.

“As far as we know, the response has not been given,” said Pedro Freitas, CFO of Braskem (BRKM5), regarding the non-binding proposal submitted by Adnoc, the state oil company of the United Arab Emirates, earlier this month, to acquire the stake held by Novonor in the petrochemical company.

The executive noted that “the adoption of a more thorough audit process, for example, has not yet been initiated by Adnoc; and the audit of Petrobras is well advanced, close to completion.”

During the presentation, Braskem predicted that next year will have a market with lower capacity influx and possible rationalization movements by low-scale and non-integrated producers.

The company sees the normalization of interest rates as a driver of demand growth.

Also at the Investor Day event, the petrochemical company stated that <a href='https://www.infomoney.com.br/business/adnoc-entrega-proposta-nao-vinculante-pelo-controle-da-braskem-no-valor-de-r-105-bi/’ rel=’noopener’ target=’_blank’>there are no updates on negotiations with Adnoc.

Braskem expects that spreads in the international market will recover due to greater balance between global supply and demand, at least until 2026. Last year, spreads, which represent the difference between the price of raw material and the product, decreased due to a drop in global demand.

The petrochemical company attributes the market downturn to the slowdown in economic activity and investments in capacity made in recent years in the sector.

This analysis shows that Braskem is optimistic regarding the recovery of spreads in the international market and provides a detailed explanation of the factors that contributed to the decline and its expectations for the future.

Variation in Economic Recovery Post-Crisis

He emphasized that the recovery will not be quick and that it will not be uniform for all products. According to him, some products in the portfolio are more resilient and were less affected during the downturn, while others were more impacted.

“Therefore, the new cycle will also not be uniform for all products. It will have different speeds and dynamics, in response to the balance between supply and demand in the global market,” he stated. “But we understand that 2024 already represents an evolution,” he added, **highlighting the importance of the year 2024 as a milestone for progress in economic recovery**.

In their presentation to investors during Investor Day, held on Tuesday (28), the company’s leaders Braskem (stock=BRKM5) highlighted a perspective of market improvement. They stated that the petrochemical sector’s downturn, which reached its most critical point recently, may be coming to an end.

According to Braskem‘s CEO, Roberto Bischoff, “We expect that 2023 possibly represented the worst moment, and starting from the year 2024, we anticipate a recovery in terms of the international scenario, based on a greater balance between global supply and demand,” he told analysts.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

A drone that flies, dives to 40 meters, resurfaces next to the target, and attacks in swarms transforms Belgium into a pioneer of a hybrid weapon that crosses sky and ocean undetected.

With breathtaking views, a pilot embarks on a journey aboard a Cessna Caravan, facing extreme altitude and operational challenges while flying over Afghanistan for the first time.

Climate turnaround in Brazil brings rain of up to 260 mm, heat of 36°C, and the arrival of the first cold with a risk of frost at the end of April, impacting various regions.

Amazon is not joking around: it launches the Fire TV Stick HD, 30% thinner and 30% faster with Wi-Fi 6 and AI-powered Alexa, as well as 4K QLED TVs that are 38 mm thick with up to 2,000 works.

Iran said that the Strait of Hormuz is open, but in practice only 1 non-Iranian oil tanker managed to cross in 24 hours — before the blockade, 100 ships passed per day.

Petrobras completes 1,300 hours of work and 15 km of subsea lines to connect the Búzios 90 well to the P-79 — the platform is ready to produce 180,000 barrels per day and is just awaiting ANP approval.

Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely open this Friday, and the price of oil plummets nearly 10% in a few hours — the largest drop since the beginning of the conflict.

While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.

Petrobras buys 75% of Oranto and becomes the operator of block 3 in São Tomé and Príncipe, resuming its strategy in Africa to diversify its portfolio and replenish oil and gas reserves.
