Petrobras CEO Trump Tariffs, Oil Prices, Supply Chain

Strategy & Outlook - Petrobras aims to balance oil production with energy transition, viewing oil as Brazil's primary export while exploring renewable energy opportunities [6] - The company is adjusting its strategic planning to account for lower oil prices, currently working with a price of $65 per barrel compared to $83 per barrel in the previous strategic plan [17] - Petrobras anticipates that molecules (ethanol, co-processed diesel, biogas, biodiesel) will be a priority until 2035, with wind, photovoltaic, and solar becoming more important thereafter [25][26] Market Dynamics & Trade - Petrobras exports very little to the United States, so a 50% tariff would be manageable by redirecting exports to India, China, and Asia [7] - The company sees India and Asia as potential buyers for increased oil and derivative production [9][10] - Global economic deceleration in countries like China and India could dampen global growth and impact oil demand, potentially leading to lower prices [16] Renewable Energy & Sustainability - Petrobras plans to invest 165 billion (165 * 10^9) USD, which is 165% billion dollars in renewable energy projects, including ethanol, biogas, and co-processed diesel [26][27] - The company is developing a co-processed diesel with 5-10% vegetable oil content, potentially increasing to 20% depending on grain availability [20][21] - Petrobras is implementing a refinery in southern Brazil to produce 15 barrels per day (unit unclear, likely thousand barrels per day) of 100% renewable fuels [28] - Brazil's energy matrix is already 52% clean, and Petrobras aims to support the country in achieving at least 64% renewables [29][30] - Petrobras has reduced CO2 emissions by more than 40% and methane emissions by more than 60% [39] Supply Chain & Project Management - Supply chain issues have caused delays, with delivery times for some goods increasing from two years to three years [12]
