In September, the company achieved a historical milestone in its refinery park, registering the highest monthly performance of its entire trajectory.

The refineries of Petrobras achieved a historic result in September regarding energy efficiency, reaching a level of 101 points on the index that measures specific energy consumption. For the year-to-date, this index reached 103.8 points, demonstrating a significant advance in this aspect.

This optimization of energy intensity in the refinery park resulted in a 25.4% reduction in natural gas consumption compared to the year 2020, prior to the implementation of the RefTOP program. This program aims to boost operational performance, ensuring greater efficiency and sustainability.

This reduction in natural gas consumption also reflects a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. It is estimated that this reduction is equivalent to the emissions of more than 75,000 urban buses operating five days a week.

Additionally, in September, the refineries recorded an excellent result regarding greenhouse gas emission intensity in the refining process, reaching a mark of 36.2 kgCO2eq/CWT, repeating the level achieved in August. These impressive results are the result of the integrated work of the teams from the Operation, Optimization, Maintenance, and Engineering areas of the refineries, which utilize robust technological solutions.

These results reflect Petrobras’ ongoing commitment to energy efficiency and the sustainability of its operations. The RefTOP program, launched in 2021, aims to enhance energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase operational availability, and expand the oil processing capacity of the pre-salt layer.

Petrobras recognizes the importance of aligning its operations with the values of safety, environment, and health, constantly seeking to improve its processes and ensure the sustainability of its activities.

These results achieved by Petrobras’ refineries demonstrate the company’s commitment to adopting more efficient and sustainable practices, contributing to the preservation of the environment and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The pursuit of greater energy efficiency is crucial for ensuring the company’s competitiveness and promoting the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy matrix.

China has been trying for 13 years to build a railway in the Gobi Desert to reach Mongolia, and there are still 20 kilometers left that no one can finish due to a problem that seems impossible to solve.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state wants to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.

Government unlocks R$ 554 million for a highway that has been requested for decades and accelerates the duplication of BR.

Tire road? Thousands of shredded tires were secretly placed under a ramp in California, preventing a one-year delay in a project on weak soil and supporting a 26-foot-high structure in a corridor connected to I-880.

China has launched the world’s first floating artificial island, a scientific structure designed to face open seas, test equipment weighing hundreds of tons, and reach depths of 10,000 meters.

A forgotten cord on the floor of a basement in Vienna leads a plumber to a box containing 30 kilograms of gold with Mozart’s face, hidden before World War II. The treasure, worth 2.3 million euros, was just centimeters away from a worker who ignored the sign a day earlier.

An irregular parking case gains attention after a Mercedes Classe A was removed in such a strange way that it even raised doubts about damage to the car.

China accelerates global science and may surpass the United States in 2 years with increased public investment, continuous growth, and direct impact on the global technological competition.

Made from recycled plastic, plastic wood is gaining space in the construction industry because it does not rot, resists moisture, and reduces maintenance costs over the years.
