Petrobras Continues Investing in Internal Startup Projects Aiming for Value Gains in the Upcoming Years

The Petrobras has been investing in recent years in the Internal Startups program, which aims to enable innovations conceived by the company’s employees to generate value, maximizing results and reducing costs for the state company

The current edition of the program focuses on financial gains, with 88 internal teams submitting their proposals, but only 12 of them were selected in this stage of the program. The selected proposals shared the ability to generate value for Petrobras. This stage consists of designs and experiments to validate their feasibility.

Petrobras used, as one of the main criteria for project selection, how much a given innovation project can generate in value for the company in the following years. The values ranged from R$ 50 million to over R$ 3 billion.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

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.

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.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

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.

Turkey hit a target using a real warhead and confirmed that its SOM-J cruise missile is ready, another step for the country to become a power that manufactures and exports its own military technology.

While the United States and China compete over giant rockets and lunar bases, India made a “spaceplane” land on its own at over 320 km/h after being released by a helicopter at an altitude of 4.5 km; Pushpak shows that New Delhi also wants to enter the era of reusable space vehicles.

Japan and Mercosur may reach an agreement to lower the cost of cars and auto parts, with manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan coming into focus.

Volkswagen is preparing an SUV derived from the new Amarok to compete with the Toyota SW4 and Haval H9, utilize the Argentine Pacheco factory, and transform a pickup into a more profitable family of products.

Virginia engineers transform 100,000 tons of demolished concrete from the Hampton Roads bridge into artificial reefs in the Chesapeake Bay, turning the debris from a mega-construction project into marine shelter while the old structure was still being dismantled.
