Petrobras’ New Sustainability Strategy Includes Exporting Green and Blue Hydrogen, Focused on the Energy Transition.

At a decisive moment, the Brazilian state-owned oil giant, Petrobras, is keeping an eye on the future, turning its attention to the green and blue hydrogen market. Mauricio Tolmasquim, the company’s director of energy transition and sustainability, indicated that Petrobras is assessing the commercialization potential of these types of hydrogen, both for the domestic and international markets.

“We are pondering whether we should start with green hydrogen or blue hydrogen at home or abroad. The decision will be guided by market prices and legislation”, Tolmasquim stated at an event hosted by the Brazilian Center for International Relations (Cebri).

Navigating the Green and Blue Hydrogen Waves

Petrobras is exploring production and commercialization opportunities for both green hydrogen and blue hydrogen, as Airbus UpNext has done with its aircraft. Green hydrogen is generated from renewable energy sources, while blue hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels. Both are being considered as potential products for the company to sell.

With a hydrogen auction approaching in Europe and growing interest in the American market, Petrobras is strategically positioning itself to establish its presence in these areas, particularly in the green and blue hydrogen market.

“We are trying to understand how to compete in the global green and blue hydrogen market, as the competition to participate in these auctions is intense. We are determined to enter the hydrogen market, but the method is still under evaluation. In the United States, for example, there are incentives for hydrogen producers, but we are still assessing the possibilities”, the executive detailed.

This strategic shift by Petrobras towards the exploration of green and blue hydrogen reflects the company’s commitment to the transition to a low-carbon economy, opening new opportunities for Brazil in the emerging global clean energy market. It is worth noting that there is even a project planned for 2024 to build a production plant for this fuel in Minas Gerais.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Workers were opening a modern road in Dover when they found, 6 meters below the asphalt, a 3,500-year-old boat made of stitched oak and plant fibers.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

Using high-resolution satellite images, archaeologists rediscovered the Egyptian city of Imet, buried for centuries in the Nile Delta, revealing rare multi-story houses, granaries, and a sacred road linked to the cobra goddess Wadjet, from about 2,400 years ago.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

Federal government backtracked after protests in SC: suspended mullet fishing but released an additional 400 tons, reigniting the hope of fishermen who saw schools pass by without being able to work again while waiting to return to the sea safely.

The “L” on the automatic transmission may seem like a detail, but it hides a low gear that helps the car climb better, descend more safely, and save the brakes.

Antarctica hides the deepest terrestrial abyss on the planet beneath the Denman Glacier, a canyon buried 3,500 meters below sea level that only appears by radar and reveals a colossal geography invisible beneath the polar ice.

The largest treated water reservoir in Latin America, made with double steel technology, is completed in Curitiba, receives an investment of R$ 40 million, and promises to strengthen the supply for 130,000 residents in five neighborhoods of the capital.

Europe wants to hold onto the black powder from used batteries because this dark residue contains valuable metals, can supply up to 1 million electric cars per year, and has become an industrial dispute.

Brazil may fall behind, and irreversibly so, in the global technological race involving the implementation of Data Centers and investments in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Much smaller but more agile economies, such as those of Argentina and Paraguay, have taken the lead.

Brazil is generating so much clean energy that the ONS had to implement an unprecedented emergency plan to contain the solar and wind surplus in the grid.

Swedes manage to create synthetic fuel with CO₂, water, and renewable energy, compatible with current engines, but face a huge problem: the energy expenditure is still double the return.
