The strategic partnership between the BNDES and Petrobras aims to leverage the national industry, making it more competitive and aligned with the challenges of the global scenario of energy transition.
Last Thursday (20/07), the presidents of Petrobras and the BNDES met at the company's headquarters to initiate a strategic collaboration focused on the country's energy transition. Jean Paul Prates, at the head of Petrobras, and Aloízio Mercadante, president of the BNDES, took the first steps towards preparing a joint event, scheduled for September, which will address crucial issues for the future of Brazilian industry.
Presidents of Petrobras and BNDES sign a partnership in favor of decarbonization and productive development
About a month ago, the two institutions had signed an important Technical Cooperation Agreement, which already included the discussion on decarbonization, governance, productive development, in addition to issues related to the oil and gas sector.
- ZEG Biogás and COAGRO seal partnership to build biomethane biorefinery in the North of Rio de Janeiro, boosting the energy transition.
- Petrobras revives billion-dollar project that had been abandoned for 16 years and promised to change Brazil: R$75 BILLION at stake and 30 THOUSAND jobs in sight
- Tax Attraction: Impact of Exemptions on the Brazilian Oil Sector (2015-2023)
- Innovative Partnership: Mobil™ Lubricants and Grupo Dislub Equador Join Forces to Offer Quality to the Consumer
Now, the intention is to deepen this partnership, stimulating the supply chain in the energy sector, thus seeking to boost the growth of the national industry.
With the growing global concern about climate change and the need to adopt cleaner and more sustainable energies, Petrobras and BNDES see the opportunity to lead the energy transition process in Brazil.
The union of these two major public sector institutions aims not only to promote the diversification of energy sources in the country, but also to foster innovation and technological development.
Petrobras directors, William França, responsible for Industrial Processes and Products, and Joelson Mendes, in charge of Exploration and Production, actively participated in the meeting.
In addition, BNDES directors were present: Luciana Costa, head of Infrastructure, Energy Transition and Climate Change; José Luis Pinho Leite Gordon, responsible for Productive Development, Innovation and Foreign Trade; and Nelson Barbosa, in charge of Project Development and Structuring.
Joint event scheduled for September aims to stimulate the supply chain of the oil and gas sector
The partnership between two of the country's largest institutions, Petrobras and BNDES, strengthens Brazil's position in the search for sustainable solutions and in facing the challenges posed by global climate change.
The joining of efforts between the oil company and the development bank signals a mutual commitment to leading the energy transition in the country.
Aligning with global demands for a low-carbon economy and the development of a modern, innovative and environmentally responsible industry.
The event scheduled for September will be a unique opportunity for industry experts, government representatives and other stakeholders to discuss concrete solutions to face the challenges of energy transition in Brazil.
The expectation is that the country can position itself as an international reference in the adoption of sustainable practices and in the promotion of an increasingly green and innovative industry.
