In response, governments have prioritized investments in refining capacity and gas-to-power infrastructure, often framed within broader industrialization strategies. However, the article argues that such projects are frequently oversized and economically fragile, carrying significant fiscal risks\u2014particularly in a context of uncertain long-term demand for fossil fuels.  <\/p><p>The paper contends that efforts to achieve energy autonomy often rely on incomplete diagnostics. Rather than large-scale industrial projects, it proposes a two-pronged approach to resilience. In the short term, this involves diversifying suppliers, expanding strategic fuel reserves, and investing in logistics and storage infrastructure. Over the medium to long term, reducing structural vulnerability requires sustained investment in low-carbon power systems and the development of green industrial activities.

In the absence of such coordination, FDI risks reproducing economic asymmetries, confining Brazil to downstream assembly and upstream resource extraction under the guise of green development.

Oil and gas production\u2014dominated by Petrobras and concentrated in pre-salt fields\u2014has grown rapidly, making Brazil a net exporter. Although hydrocarbons account for only a small share of government revenues, they are vital for some subnational budgets, complicating the transition.   <\/p><p>Institutionally, Brazil\u2019s energy and climate governance remains fragmented: strong technical agencies operate with limited coordination, allowing policies to promote both fossil fuel expansion and green transition rhetoric. The government argues that oil revenues can finance decarbonization, but this link remains largely aspirational. <\/p><p>The briefing identifies opportunities for leadership as Brazil prepares to host the G20 and COP30. Reducing fossil fuel subsidies, directing petroleum revenues to innovation and forest conservation, and adopting fiscal instruments such as a carbon tax could advance a just and credible transition. Ultimately, Brazil\u2019s challenge\u2014and opportunity\u2014is to transform its resource wealth into a foundation for green industrialization and equitable development, offering a model for other fossil fuel producers in the Global South.  <\/p><p>From the outset, it was clear that Petrobras operates in an environment marked by contrasts. The pre-salt fields are experiencing a phase of high productivity and low costs, securing Brazil a central position in the global expansion of oil supply. At the same time, climate pressures, new international regulations, and transformations in energy value chains require the company to look beyond the immediate horizon.

The government has introduced several initiatives\u2014RenovaBio, Mover, and \u201cFuel of the Future\u201d\u2014to advance biofuels, sustainable aviation fuels, biomethane, and carbon capture. However, long-haul transport remains difficult to decarbonize, and new exploration plans, notably in the Equatorial Margin, risk locking in future emissions and stranded assets.  <\/p><p>In a decarbonizing world, Brazil\u2019s medium-term oil output is likely to remain competitive thanks to low extraction costs and relatively low emissions intensity. Yet falling global demand could erode royalties and fiscal revenues. The report highlights opportunities to redirect oil wealth toward innovation and diversification: strengthening governance of oil revenues; integrating biomass and hydrocarbon infrastructures to scale low-carbon fuels; leveraging Petrobras\u2019 technological capacity and investment to build green value chains; and deepening cooperation with partners such as China and the EU. <\/p><p>The study concludes that Brazil\u2019s oil sector is resilient but not yet transformative\u2014well positioned to weather the energy transition, but still lacking the policy coherence needed to turn fossil wealth into sustainable prosperity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aab862a elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"aab862a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-shrink\" href=\"https:\/\/climatestrategies.org\/publication\/brazils-oil-and-gas-sector-in-a-decarbonising-world\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Read More<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc19cf5 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bc19cf5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfaab36 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cfaab36\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2de68b6 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2de68b6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c7987d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7c7987d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Prosperity Post Fossil Fuels Briefing: Brazil<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f05cd7 elementor-position-inline-start elementor-view-default elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"2f05cd7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon icon-edit1\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNICOLAS LIPPOLIS\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a51e6d6 elementor-position-inline-start elementor-view-default elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"a51e6d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"icon icon-calendar\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNOVEMBRO DE 2024<br>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-deaec3e elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"deaec3e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;all_collapsed&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.

Oil and gas production\u2014dominated by Petrobras and concentrated in pre-salt fields\u2014has grown rapidly, making Brazil a net exporter. Although hydrocarbons account for only a small share of government revenues, they are vital for some subnational budgets, complicating the transition.   <\/p><p>Institutionally, Brazil\u2019s energy and climate governance remains fragmented: strong technical agencies operate with limited coordination, allowing policies to promote both fossil fuel expansion and green transition rhetoric. The government argues that oil revenues can finance decarbonization, but this link remains largely aspirational. <\/p><p>The briefing identifies opportunities for leadership as Brazil prepares to host the G20 and COP30. Reducing fossil fuel subsidies, directing petroleum revenues to innovation and forest conservation, and adopting fiscal instruments such as a carbon tax could advance a just and credible transition. Ultimately, Brazil\u2019s challenge\u2014and opportunity\u2014is to transform its resource wealth into a foundation for green industrialization and equitable development, offering a model for other fossil fuel producers in the Global South.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-268d8d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"268d8d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-shrink\" href=\"https:\/\/climatestrategies.org\/publication\/prosperity-post-fossil-fuels-briefing-brazil\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Read More<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rethinking Resilience: Energy Security, Fiscal Constraints, and the Financing of Low-Carbon Development in African Hydrocarbon Producers Nicolas Lippolis April 2026 This article examines how recent geopolitical tensions and volatility in global energy markets expose structural vulnerabilities in hydrocarbon-producing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.
