Prates sees new directions for investments in refining and renewable energies at Petrobras for the coming years in the company's Strategic Plan
The current president of Petrobras, Jean Paul Prates, recently approved a set of six proposals that could be considered in the company's Strategic Planning, and that could mean the beginning of a series of changes in the company's future, especially with regard to refining. and renewable energies.
One of the main proposals is that Petrobras will emphasize adapting and improving the current refining park. This will happen through efficiency gains and the combination of raw materials from a renewable matrix in the development of resilient industrial processes and sustainable products.
- New government law threatens renewable energy sector in Brazil, potentially affecting 1,8 THOUSAND jobs and causing losses of R$200 MILLION per year
- The end of solar panels? With the price of a cell phone, a new residential wind turbine generates 150 kWh of energy for your home, rain or shine, has a useful life of 20 years and promises to revolutionize energy generation in the world
- Giant batteries revolutionize solar and wind energy, promising unprecedented efficiency and making electricity bills cheaper: the future of energy is closer than you think!
- Ceará enters into a billion-dollar partnership with a Chinese company to revolutionize renewable energy in Brazil, betting on green hydrogen with the expectation of generating almost 1 jobs
According to the executive, this means that the company will seek ways to make its refining operations more efficient and sustainable, using renewable raw materials and developing sustainable products.
Prates' main focus in the future Strategic Plan is to invest in refining and renewable energies, but other points are being evaluated.
Among them, the company promises to prioritize the development, retention and requalification of talent, thus ensuring an even more inclusive, diverse and qualified workforce to meet the dynamic demands of the market, in particular the energy transition and renewable energies.
This measure can help the company remain competitive in an increasingly dynamic and diverse market.
Prates Strategic Plan should promote sustainable practices in the company's operations
Another proposal approved by Petrobras is that it must use the different potentialities of Brazil as a country of continental dimensions and energy capacities that favor sustainable development, through the regionalization of the company's activities based on production chains and local operating units.
This means that the company will look for ways to take advantage of the country's potential to develop its operations in a more sustainable and efficient way.
Petrobras, under the command of Prates, will also seek a fair energy transition, in line with its international counterparts, primarily through partnerships of technical excellence and social responsibility programs that mitigate the externalities of the company's operations and foster production chains locations.
Thus, it will seek partnerships with other companies to make its energy transition more efficient and fair, in addition to seeking ways to mitigate the negative impacts of its operations.
Finally, the company will also remain focused on its exploration and production operations, focusing on profitable assets and the increasing decarbonization of the company's operations and those of its suppliers.
In addition to focusing on refining and renewable energies, Prates plans to give Petrobras new directions in its Strategic Plan.
