Alongside Various Authorities from Brazil and Around the World, the Rio de Janeiro Industry Federation (Firjan) Attended the Opening of ROG.e on Monday (September 23), the Country's Leading Energy Fair, Bringing Together the Main Companies in the Oil, Gas, and Energy Markets.

"This first day impressed us with the massive presence of market players, including representatives from 58 countries, ministers, and deputies, demonstrating a synergy between powers that is very important for this market. Firjan is contributing with studies and showcasing the potential of a state that accounts for 80% of the country’s oil production," said Firjan's vice president, Raul Sanson.

He attended the opening ceremony, which included the participation of the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira, Petrobras President, Magda Chambriard, ANP Director-General, Rodolfo Saboia, and other federal, state, and municipal authorities from the Executive and Legislative branches.

Karine Fragoso, Firjan’s General Manager of Oil, Gas, Energy, and Maritime, moderated the panel "New Technologies and Decarbonization of the Natural Gas Chain," which featured representatives from EPE, Abiogás, Gerdau, and Scania. Additionally, the federation presented technical papers titled "Decarbonization from the Brazilian Industry: The Competitive Advantage of the National Industry in the Decarbonization Agenda, from the Perspective of the Supply of Goods and Services to the O&G Market" and "Results of the Opportunity Network Program: Oil, Gas, and Maritime in the Supplier Chain."

At Booth I13 in the Main Warehouse, Firjan is presenting studies on the Oil, Gas, and Energy markets to businesspeople and visitors, along with information on the Firjan SENAI SESI Innovation and Technology Institutes. A delegation from Firjan Norte Fluminense, including 35 business leaders from Campos and Macaé, was also present.

The federation estimates the potential creation of 115,000 direct and indirect jobs in the state of Rio by 2030, driven by increased oil and gas production as new oil production units come online, investments in the supply segment, and the recovery of the Rio de Janeiro shipbuilding industry, potentially reaching its historic peak in contracts. Additional job creation could result from new energy and technology projects, such as hydrogen, offshore wind, and carbon capture and storage. These figures are part of publications and studies like the 2024 Rio Oil Yearbook, the Rio Maritime Overview, and the Energy Transition and Integration in Rio.

"According to EPE, by 2030 the country will produce 5.4 million barrels per day (MMpd), making Brazil the 5th largest oil producer in the world. Most of this oil will come from Rio’s waters, in the Campos and Santos basins, which will receive 13 new FPSOs by 2028. In other words, there is significant growth ahead for the supply of goods and services, and Rio de Janeiro’s and Brazil’s supply chains must not be left out," emphasized Karine Fragoso, Firjan’s General Manager of Oil, Gas, Energy, and Maritime Industry.

In light of this scenario, the federation has created a dynamic panel of potential investments dedicated to these markets and opportunities, totaling US$182 billion in investments extending beyond 2030.
