O papel da Petrobras na transição energética brasileira e a diversificação das matrizes energéticas

Abstract

This study aimed to understand Petrobras's role in Brazil's energy transition between 2015 and 2024. As a leading company in Brazil's energy sector, it plays a fundamental role across all the country's energy segments. This work focused on the diversification of the energy mix, specifically regarding natural gas and biodiesel. To achieve these objectives, the study employed bibliographic research as its primary methodology, using a theoretical framework to assess Petrobras's performance in the face of energy transition challenges. Data analysis highlighted the company's relevance as a key driver of energy mix diversification in Brazil, showcasing the technological innovations Petrobras is implementing to reduce carbon emissions and diversify its energy sources beyond fossil fuels, with the goals of environmental preservation and ensuring energy security. Finally, the study confirmed that the global future of energy exploration lies in the gradual shift from traditional to alternative sources, and that Petrobras is the primary entity responsible for the energy transition process in Brazil.
