Jean Paul Prates States That the Fate of the Fertilizer Plants in Três Lagoas (MS) and Camaçari (BA) Will Be Determined Based on the Reconfiguration of the New Strategic Plan.

Petrobras’ strategy for the fertilizer factories in Três Lagoas (MS) – UFN III – and Camaçari – Fafen BA – will be established based on the reconfiguration of the area in the new business plan 2024-2028, according to the president of the state-owned company, Jean Paul Prates, in statements made this Tuesday (11/7).

According to the president, the reconfiguration will cover all aspects related to fertilizers and is essential for the company’s strategic planning. He made these comments during the launch event for the company’s socio-environmental project call, which will have a budget of BRL 1 billion over the next four years.

New Strategic Planning for the Lula Government: Business Plan 2024-2028

The Lula government is developing the strategic planning for the next four years, known as the Business Plan 2024-2028, which will be launched soon.

Recently, Unigel, the company that leased the fertilizer plants from Petrobras in Bahia and Sergipe, informed the local union about the suspension of operations at the Bahia unit.

Unigel is in negotiations with Petrobras to try to enable operations, claiming that the current cost of natural gas supplied by the state-owned company is negatively impacting its activities at the fertilizer plants, which are in financial crisis.

The Três Lagoas plant, owned by the state, is a project that had construction started but was interrupted in 2014. Currently, the fertilizer plant has been put up for sale, but without success.

Prates states that Petrobras intends to involve communities dependent on the marine economy in the company’s upcoming offshore wind projects.

Recently, there have been questions regarding the lease contracts for land-based wind generation projects due to potential imbalances with local communities.

The company has environmental licensing requests with Ibama for the development of 23 gigawatts (GW) in its own projects and another 7 GW in partnership with Equinor.

According to the executive, community involvement in the development of the projects aims to ensure a just energy transition, thus ensuring benefits for all involved.
