We are very excited about our job and our mission of transforming Petrobras into a truly energy transition company in the country”, stated the CEO, Jean Paul Prates, at the event that represents his first activity in the mission to the Nordic countries.
 
The panel discussed what oil companies have done to reduce emissions and accelerate energy transition, protect the environment, mitigate climate change and improve public health and how this strategy also drives innovation, job creation and secures a sustainable future. Norway, Brazil and Guyana are the countries that are most likely to receive offshore investments in the coming years.
 
Moreover, on the strategic drivers, the CEO listed the main pillars: full focus on people; search for profitable assets and decarbonization of E&P; adaptation and improvement of the current refinery complex; sustainable development of the country; making use of production chains; and positioning Petrobras at the global forefront of energy transition.
 
“We are working on energy transition in parallel to our oil operations. We are looking for experienced companies with optimal technological solutions to approach and eventually establish partnerships that will help Brazil in this path”, concluded Prates.
 
The Energy Transition Officer, Maurício Tolmasquim, participated in the panel on opportunities in the hydrogen market (Exploring Hydrogen Market Opportunities - Global Trends, Financing, and Market Insights), where current global trends in hydrogen implementation, financing models and market outlook were presented, offering a broad understanding of the industry’s growth prospects, investment opportunities and market dynamics.

Tomorrow (11/14), Prates will participate in a bilateral meeting with the Minister of Oil and Energy of Norway, Terje Aasland, and will take part in a workshop at the Norwegian Export Financing Agency (EKSFIN), a company that is part of the Norwegian Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Fisheries of.
