The world’s largest energy festival, organized by the Brazilian Institute of Oil, Gas and Biofuels (IBP) from September 21 to 24 in Rio de Janeiro, highlighted the importance of cooperation in the global market and the relevance of the energy transition to the future of the world economy during its opening ceremony. Held on Monday, September 21, at Riocentro, the ceremony brought together energy-sector authorities to discuss the future of the industry, the need for an inclusive energy transition, and the strengthening of international partnerships.

IBP President Roberto Ardenghy highlighted the record level of technical engagement in this year’s edition during his opening remarks. “We will have four days of intense activity and opportunities for connections, knowledge exchange, and business. One of the highlights is the extraordinary volume of technical work—the largest we have ever had at ROG.e, with more than 1,800 technical papers submitted for selection,” he said.

ROG.e Chair Nelson Narciso emphasized the event’s enormous scale, with a strong focus on diversity and inclusion. He also stressed the need for an integrated vision of the different energy sources.“We have an extraordinary ability to combine different technologies and develop strategies to address future challenges. The energy transition is an evolution that requires us to know how to combine resources, technologies, and knowledge,” he said.

Petrobras President Magda Chambriard highlighted the company’s commitment not only to energy security but also to Brazil’s energy transition, noting that the state-owned company operates 90% of the country’s oil and gas production. “In addition, we produce 80% of Brazil’s primary energy. There can be no social well-being without energy, without a minimum level of energy consumption. For us, the transition must be fair and affordable for our society. This does not mean abandoning existing energy sources, but incorporating other forms of energy,” Chambriard emphasized.

The international scenario also took center stage with the participation of Mozambique’s President Daniel Chapo, who highlighted the importance of the partnership between the African country and Brazil. Chapo revealed that Mozambique had signed a memorandum of understanding with Petrobras, through the National Hydrocarbons Company (ENH), to establish partnerships in exploration and production.

The Mozambican president presented opportunities in the African country, which has significant potential for natural gas production, particularly liquefied natural gas (LNG).“We are seeking to attract Brazilian companies and investors by offering regulatory stability and legal certainty. We want to export energy, but, above all, we want to industrialize Mozambique, create jobs, and supply the agricultural sector. We are not looking only for suppliers, but also for partners to develop our industry and our country,” he said.
