Petrobras signs agreement with European Energy to evaluate e-methanol business opportunities

—

Rio de Janeiro, November 16, 2023 – Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras informs that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with European Energy, a Danish company with verticalized operations in the energy transition, including renewable generation and green hydrogen-based solutions, to evaluate, on a non-binding basis, business opportunities for the development of an e-methanol plant project in Brazil. The agreement was signed at European Energy's headquarters in Denmark.

The Memorandum of Understanding is aligned with the strategic elements of the 2024-28 Strategic Plan, which aim to prepare Petrobras for a more sustainable future, contributing to the success of the energy transition.
