The company has opted to exit the renewable energy sectors, both in the suspension of the aforementioned project and also in the area of biofuels. According to the company, these measures are part of maximizing returns for shareholders.
However, Petrobras’s strategy has started to be questioned by market analysts. Last month, during the company’s results presentation (record profit of R$ 40 billion), the company was asked if the slowdown in the energy transition could impact its reputation and competitiveness in the future.
The company’s financial director, Andrea Almeida, pointed out: “I believe that after another two years of hard work, the company will be more competitive and will be prepared to determine which areas will be competitive in renewables for Petrobras.”
