For a deputy from the Parliamentary Front for Natural Resources and Energy, the challenge is to make the tariff cheaper for the consumer.
The president of Petrobras, Jean Paul Prates, explained the company's guidelines regarding the energy transition, a strategy defended by international organizations to enable sustainable development with the use of renewable energy, especially in times of climate change.

This Tuesday (14) he participated in the reinstallation of the Parliamentary Front for Natural Resources and Energy, of which he was a founder in 2021, when he was a senator for the MDB of Rio Grande do Norte, reports “Agência Câmara”. When speaking to deputies and senators, Prates praised the efforts of more sustainable activities in traditional and polluting sectors, such as fossil energy and hydrocarbons, and signaled subsidies for new energies, from renewable sources.
“Energy integration and especially the energy transition take time. Each segment has a time, but everyone wants to exist 30 years from now. Everyone: even coal, oil and gas, which would be the era to overcome. These sectors also have their spaces and have made efforts to decarbonize as much as possible. And new sectors, on many occasions, have needed and will continue to need public policies, strong laws, government aid and, why not say, grants and subsidies”, stated Prates.
The president of Petrobras included what he called a “fair energy transition” among the five major missions of the current Petrobras management.
“An energy transition that is carried out by firing people, disqualifying people, abandoning regions, leaving skeletons behind is not a fair energy transition. A fair energy transition is one that retrains people, reactivates regions and takes advantage of areas that were, in some way, host to a sector that has eventually been overcome or ended its mission there”, he said.
Cheap energy
Member of the parliamentary front, deputy Lafayette de Andrada (Republicanos-MG) praised above all the willingness to guarantee complementary spaces between the country's varied energy matrices.
“The (energetic) matrices do not need to fight each other. In fact, they are all complementary. Brazil has this diversity that other countries in the world do not have. Our energy is cheap. Our big challenge is to make the bill cheap for the consumer. The important thing is this dialogue between the different matrices”.
The other four Petrobras missions mentioned by Jean Paul Prates are: the resumption of pre-salt exploration with a focus on decarbonizing operations; strengthening the company's national profile, with a presence in all regions of the country; relocation of personnel; and reinternationalization of Petrobras, with the prospect of attracting investments to Brazil.
