Thinking About a More Modern and Sustainable Production, Petrobras Launched Two New Projects in the Refining and Natural Gas Industry for Low Carbon Policies

The two new projects for Petrobras’ transition regarding a low carbon policy will be called Biorefino and anticipate that by 2030, diesel and aviation biofuel will emit fewer pollutants than currently – the idea is to reduce by at least 30%.

“The main idea is that we can bring sustainable products to the Brazilian public in all areas we operate, adding value not only to the brand but also to the product. We want to keep our focus on quality refining and competitiveness, which can truly generate gains in the sustainable chain,” emphasizes the Director of Refining and Natural Gas at Petrobras, Anelise Lara.

Petrobras Gas+ Program

In summary, the Petrobras Gas+ program’s main goal is to increase the oil company’s competitiveness in the natural gas market. To make this possible, Petrobras plans to invest even more in digital contracts and sales through automated platforms, always trying to further retain customers and leave them with a sense of satisfaction.

In addition to modernizing its entire production process and launching two new programs focusing on mutual benefit and low carbon policies, Petrobras is also renewing and expanding its liquefied natural gas regasification terminal in Baía de Guanabara (TR-BGUA) from 20 to 30 MM m³/day.

Cutting-Edge Technology and AI

Petrobras has started using Microsoft’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance the safety of workers involved in its offshore operations, which is also part of the low carbon policy.

This innovation will help analyze images of field tasks focused on safety, environment, and health, detecting deviations and incidents, such as the improper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), unsafe positioning concerning loads, obstruction of escape routes, and access to restricted areas.
