Our attitudes reflect our commitment to the planet
In this sense, our ambition is to balance the focus on oil and gas, essential for Brazilian energy security, with the responsible expansion of low-carbon energies and bioproducts. And to do so fairly, promoting the social and environmental responsibility associated with our business, positively impacting society and the environment.
- By 2025, we have set a goal for 70% of our suppliers classified as relevant to publish their greenhouse gas inventories, preparing the supply chain for the transition towards a low-carbon global economy.
- We have had teams dedicated to emissions, the environment and climate change for over 20 years and all assets under operational control are inventoried.
- We have a proprietary emissions management system with around 7 thousand sources entered in the system, SIGEA® (Petrobras Atmospheric Emissions Management System), which contains data modules including our emissions inventory.
- Our inventory has been published voluntarily since 2002 and verified by a third party annually, conferring reliability and transparency to the process.
- Since 2002, we have used the Atmospheric Emissions Management System (SIGEA®), a proprietary tool that processes data from approximately seven thousand sources monthly, consolidating our inventory with traceable and reliable information.
- We are founding members of the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program and published our inventory in its Public Emissions Registry. In 2025, our inventory (base year 2024) earned the Gold Seal for the eighth consecutive year, a standard of excellence in data quality and availability.
- In 2025, we received the Gold Standard Pathway seal from the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) for the third consecutive year, recognizing our plan to implement methane emissions management in the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors.
- We are founding members of the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program and published our inventory in its Public Emissions Registry. In 2025, our inventory (base year 2024) earned the Gold Seal for the eighth consecutive year, a standard of excellence in data quality and availability.
- We reduced our absolute operational greenhouse gas emissions by 36%, reaching a total of 50 million tons of CO₂e in 2025. And we remain on track towards operational emissions neutrality by 2050.
- We reduced our absolute operational greenhouse gas emissions by 40% and methane emissions in the upstream by 69%, between 2015 and 2024. And we continue on the path towards achieving operational emissions neutrality by 2050.

Our pillars for carbon management and climate change
Transparency and Carbon Management
Oil and Gas (O&G) Competitiveness
Low-carbon companies, scope 3 emissions and just transition
We seek to reconcile the focus on oil and gas with the profitable diversification of the portfolio in low-carbon businesses as the most effective path to a just energy transition.
Commitments to reduce the carbon footprint
We achieved our target for CCUS projects, reaching a cumulative reinjection of 80 million tons of CO2 by 2025. Our offshore CO2 reinjection program is considered the largest in the world (Global Status of CCUS 2022), in terms of annual capacity, and allows us to increase production efficiency while simultaneously reducing emissions per barrel.
In addition to this, our other five commitments to reduce our carbon footprint, focusing on mitigating climate change, cover 100% of the emissions under our operational control (Scopes 1 and 2), bringing 2030 targets. Learn more about each of our commitments.
This goal encompasses 100% of assets operated in all our businesses, including power generation, for all greenhouse gases. It is a relevant material contribution, in the short and medium term, to fighting climate change. We also monitor operational emissions only from our oil and gas activities, which do not include calculation of the emissions arising from our operations in the thermoelectricity market.
Including thermoelectricity, our emissions in 2025 were 36% lower than in 2015. Without the inclusion of thermoelectricity, our emissions were 18% lower than in 2015.
Our commitment is to seek continued improvement in the carbon efficiency of our E&P activities, with the goal of reaching 15 kgCO₂e per barrel of oil equivalent (boe) by 2030. And we are already within this goal.
Our emissions per barrel have fallen by more than half since 2009, reaching 14.7 kgCO₂e/boe in 2025. In the pre-salt layer, the numbers were even lower: its oil fields are among the least carbon-intensive in the world, with an average of 10 kgCO₂e/boe.
Flaring is the process of burning excess natural gas in refineries and oil platforms, adopted throughout the global industry to regulate pressure on-site and prevent explosions.
In 2018, we disclosed our support for the World Bank's “Zero Routine Flaring by 2030” initiative, which seeks to eliminate flare flaring by 2030, with meeting its criteria considered one of our Sustainability Commitments.
In 2025, routine flaring will account for only 8% of the total gas volume flared in E&P segment operations, and all of our new projects adopt zero-routine flare concepts, reinforcing the trend of continuous reduction of this percentage in the coming years
Our carbon intensity targets for the segments cover all greenhouse gases, including methane. Because methane has warming potential in the short term, we monitor this gas using specific indicators.
We are therefore committed to achieving an emissions intensity of 0.20 tCH4/thousand tons of hydrocarbons by 2030. That is: 0.20 tons of methane for every thousand tons of hydrocarbons.
Our previous goal was to reduce emissions intensity by 62% by 2025, compared to the year 2015. And it was surpassed: we reduced emissions by 65% (0.23 tCH4/thousand tons of hydrocarbons)!
Our CO2 reinjection offshore program is considered to be the biggest in the world (Global Status of CCUS 2022), in relation to annual capacity, and has allowed us to increase production efficiency and simultaneously reduce emissions per barrel. In 2024 alone, we hit a new world record by reinjecting 14,2 million tons of CO2 in reservoirs — the largest amount allocated in a single year.
Since the start of the CCUS project, which began as a pilot in the Tupi field, we have already reinjected 53.7 million tons of CO2 in pre-salt reservoirs.
We seek a just energy transition for the environment and also for people
