On May 6, Petrobras announced that it had managed to reduce the intensity of of greenhouse gas emissions per barrel of oil in the period from 2009 to 2021. This feat was, to a certain extent, due to the adoption of new technologies in the oil extraction process. In view of this, other large companies have also been moving towards this dynamic, such as Ambev, L'Oreal, Braskem and Danone.

In general, these companies are seeking to limit the increase in the temperature of the planet to 1.5º C, using the period pre-industrial climate, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which acts directly in controlling changes weather. That is, taking these data into account, the goal is to reduce gas emissions by up to 45%, at least, by the year 2030.
It is important to highlight that, according to the International Organization, in November 2021, the average global emissions of greenhouse gases have reached the most dramatic levels in history. However, Brazilian companies are helping in this process of reducing these gases, and, with their help, the emissions growth rates slowed to 1.3% in the decade to 2019, taking into account the 2.1% previous.
Thus, it is believed that the numbers tend to go down, but for the next few years, especially with the efforts of companies in Brazil. In fact, the fight for a clean environment, in theory, should belong to everyone, since we live on the same planet.
