Aiming for the Global Benchmark in Decommissionings, Petrobras Imposes Green Recycling Policies on 26 Platforms, Starting Its Project with the Marlim Platform.

With the aim of becoming a global reference in platform decommissioning as a model for green disposal, Petrobras announced its intention to allocate 26 platforms with a Green Recycling policy. Setting a 5-year timeline for this project, the state-owned company predicts an investment of US$ 9.8 billion in decommissioning activities, and the pilot project of this new initiative will begin in 2023 with the P-32, a platform located in the Marlim field in the Campos Basin.

The New Green Recycling Policy for Platforms Focuses on Reducing Environmental Impacts

The new green recycling policy aims to implement actions to minimize waste generation, avoiding impacts on biodiversity during production, in addition to the reuse of equipment and the promotion of a circular economy.

The state-owned company also aims to inventory the existing materials on the vessels in advance, thus ensuring the appropriate development of a recycling plan for the shipyards.

Decommissioning Is Part of the Life Cycle of a Production System, Petrobras Bets on That

The decommissioning process is part of the life cycle of a production system and consists of a set of activities directly related to the definitive interruption of operations of a platform and associated equipment, when there are no more opportunities for extension or maintenance of production.

Therefore, through this new green recycling policy, Petrobras believes it will enhance control over the recycling of units, reinforcing guarantees that production occurs in line with the best ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices of the global industry. Maintaining a focus on capital generation, sustainability, safety, and respect for people and the environment.

The structuring of the state-owned company’s program predicts the acquisition of capital in the amount of US$ 9.8 billion in decommissioning activities from 2023 to 2027.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

System created to save lives in disasters turned ‘against’ Brazilians overnight: a hacker attack sent out a false alert from Civil Defense with the word “misantropia” that went off on the phones of half the country, even in silent mode, and took down the Cell Broadcast.

NASA captured by satellite an underwater volcano erupting in the Bismarck Sea, in the Pacific, and now scientists are waiting to see if a new island will be born there in front of the cameras, a very rare phenomenon to witness live from space.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

For the first time in history, solar and wind energy generated more electricity than natural gas worldwide in a single month, April 2026, a milestone in the energy transition that shows renewable sources taking the lead in the global electric system.
