Petrobras’s Thermal Power Plants Operate with Fuel Oil and Have Potential for Conversion to Natural Gas Operation.

Petrobras announced last night (12) the teaser regarding the sale of four thermal power plants (TPPs), with three located in Camaçari-BA and powered by fuel oil, and one dual-fuel (diesel oil or natural gas) located in Canoas-RS (Canoas TPP). Petrobras initiated the sale of biodiesel factories on April 27.

“This operation is aligned with the optimization of the portfolio and the improvement of the company’s capital allocation, aiming to maximize value for its shareholders”, it added.

The Camaçari TPPs are assets owned by Petrobras and include the Arembepe, Bahia 1, and Muricy plants, with a total installed capacity of 329 MW.

The plants operate with fuel oil and have the potential for conversion to natural gas operation.

The Canoas TPP is an asset owned by Petrobras and has an installed capacity of 249 MW.

The plant is dual-fuel (natural gas and diesel oil), thus having potential operational gains with the expected expansion of the gas pipeline network and/or new regasification terminals.

The teaser, which contains the main information about the opportunity, as well as the eligibility criteria for selecting potential participants, is available on Petrobras’s website

Petrobras Sells Four Fuel Oil Thermal Power Plants

Petrobras – With 7 Million Gas Cylinders, Reduc Sets New Record for LPG Delivery

90,306 tons were sold just in the month of April, equivalent to 7 million cooking gas cylinders.

“For the first time, the refinery broke the average mark of 3,000 tons/day of product supply. There were 102 tons more of LPG delivered per day compared to March, representing a 3.5% increase in daily delivery compared to the previous month,” Petrobras stated in a note.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.
