“With this operation, Petrobras maintains its focus on reducing its indebtedness while concentrating its resources on assets with greater value generation potential, such as oil and gas fields in deep and ultra-deep waters. In parallel, Petrobras remains committed to the transition to a low-carbon economy, investing in new technologies for the decarbonization of production and in the development of more efficient and sustainable fuels. The company also continues to invest in renewables through research, aiming to acquire the necessary skills to eventually operate renewable sources on a larger scale in the future,” says Petrobras’ Director of Institutional Relations and Sustainability, Roberto Furian Ardenghy.

The remaining amount to be paid to the oil company (R$ 67.4 million) will depend on the approval of Cade (Administrative Council for Economic Defense).

Petrobras is divesting assets to focus on oil and gas exploration. According to the state-owned company, the operation “is aligned with the portfolio optimization strategy and the improvement of the company’s capital allocation,” it reported in a statement.

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 the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
