Are There Distinct And Divergent Views On Whether And To What Extent We Should Transition From Reliable Fossil Fuels Like Oil And Natural Gas To More Intermittent Energy Sources Like Wind And Solar, And Will This Help In The Recovery Of The Brazilian Economy?  

The truth according to North American journalists and researchers is that it does not matter where you are; the truth is that arbitrarily halting the development of oil and natural gas would severely harm our economy, jeopardize post-pandemic recovery, and deny us a critical engine for cleaner technology innovation.

The Oil And Natural Gas Industry In Brazil  

The oil and natural gas industry is also a key partner in the development of clean and energy-efficient technology.

The industry spends more than R$ 4.5 billion annually on research and development, in partnership with universities and research labs across the country. This scientific pipeline and the innovations it brings will be interrupted by proposals that regulate, tax, and restrict investment in the sector.

Exports Of Gas (LNG) And Gas (LPG)  

There is also the role that liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) exports play in advancing the economy.   Our exports help these nations reduce their energy dependence on countries like Russia, which seeks to increase its global hegemony through energy trade.

Brazil’s role as an export partner, therefore, strengthens bilateral relations in key regions, enhancing our national security in the process.

The Importance Of Oil And Natural Gas For The Brazilian Economy  

To reinforce the importance of the oil and natural gas sector to the economy, EY and the Brazilian Institute of Oil, Gas and Biofuels (IBP) prepared a study – The Relevance Of Oil For Brazil – which demonstrates the various investment opportunities in the market and the value that the industry has for the country’s economy.

The data from the study reinforces that Brazil has abundant oil and gas reserves, ranking third among the main economic activities and fourth in terms of exports, playing a relevant role in achieving a trade surplus.

Moreover, the oil and gas market is the leading sector in terms of federal tax revenue, having a significant impact on the national job market, as the jobs generated by the sector offer salaries that are higher than the average salary in the Brazilian industry.
