據油價網6月1日消息稱，巴西國家石油公司周四表示，該公司董事會已經批準了到2028年戰略計劃中的新指導方針，將更多的資本支出分配給低碳項目。

根據新的戰略指導方針，巴西國家石油公司將在2024年至2028年期間將其資本支出的6%至15%分配給低碳能源項目，而在2023年至2027年的戰略計劃中，這一比例為6%。

該公司今天表示，新戰略計劃和低碳項目分配的最終批準將于2023年11月進行。

低碳資本支出將包括可再生能源項目和巴西國家石油公司運營的脫碳項目。

該公司強調，這些投資應由經營性現金流提供資金，并達到與競爭對手相當的水平。巴西國家石油公司也傾向于通過合作伙伴關系來投資低碳項目，這樣既可以分享專業知識，也可以分擔風險。

巴西國家石油公司在一份聲明中表示，這些項目旨在幫助巴西國家石油公司成為一家綜合能源公司，并實現其價值最大化。

今年早些時候，巴西國家石油公司與超級巨頭殼牌公司簽署了一項為期五年的協議，共同確定潛在的上游機會，分享減少碳排放，社會和環境倡議的經驗和最佳實踐。

這份不具約束力的協議不僅將關注巴西近海鹽下層及鹽下層以外的潛在勘探機會，還將關注能源轉型工作，重點是可再生能源和碳捕集、利用和封存(CCUS)。巴西國家石油公司和殼牌還將合作建立保護和恢復生物多樣性的項目，目標是發放信用額度來抵消碳排放。

“能夠依靠像殼牌這樣的合作伙伴，對巴西國家石油公司的未來計劃至關重要，因為合作伙伴可以在公司尋求盈利多樣化的領域(如可再生能源和氫)增加實力。在帶領巴西國家石油公司走向公平的能源轉型過程中，我們將向主要參與者學習。”巴西國家石油公司首席執行官Jean Paul Prates在3月份表示。

Petrobras Set To Raise Investments In Low-Carbon Energy Projects

The board of directors of Petrobras has approved new guidelines in the strategic plan through 2028 to allocate more capital expenditures to low-carbon projects, the Brazilian state-owned oil firm said on Thursday.

Under the new strategic guidelines, Petrobras will allocate between 2024 and 2028 between 6% and 15% of its capex to low-carbon energy projects, compared to 6% of capex going to low-emission projects in the 2023-2027 strategic plan.

The final approval of the new strategic plan and allocation for low-carbon projects will take place in November 2023, the company said today.

Low-carbon capex will include projects in renewable energy and the decarbonization of Petrobras’ operations.

The company stressed that those investments should be financed by operating cash flow and at levels equivalent to its competitors. Petrobras also prefers to make investments in low-carbon projects through partnerships that allow sharing of expertise as well as risks.

The projects will be aimed at helping Petrobras become an integrated energy company and maximize its value, the firm said in a statement.

Earlier this year, Petrobras signed a five-year agreement with supermajor Shell to work together on identifying potential upstream opportunities, sharing experience and best practices on reducing carbon emissions, social and environmental initiatives.

The non-binding agreement will focus not only on potential exploration opportunities in and beyond the presalt layer offshore Brazil but also on energy transition efforts, with an emphasis on renewables and Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS). Petrobras and Shell will also work together to set up projects to preserve and restore biodiversity, with the goal of issuing credits to offset carbon emissions.

“Being able to rely on partners, such as Shell, is vital for Petrobras’s future plans, because partners can add their strength to areas where the company is looking for profitable diversification, such as renewables and hydrogen. We will be looking to learn from the main players as we lead Petrobras towards a fair energy transition”, Petrobras CEO Jean Paul Prates said in March.
