BioRefining Program: technological leadership transformed into commercial reality
- Use on the runway of CAP Pro, a new asphalt developed by Petrobras, which enables a 65% reduction in estimated greenhouse gas emissions.
- We were one of the first companies to meet the criteria established by the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). In 2023, we made the first supply of a fleet shop with biobunker, which has a lower carbon footprint.
- In 2023, we will introduce the new Premium Petrobras gasoline, with high performance and 40% less sulfur.
