Petrobras Secures $1.1B Loan to Drive Energy Transition
Read MoreHide Full Article
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras (PBR - Free Report) has taken a significant step toward sustainability and secured $1.1 billion in funding from Banco do Brasil. The deal is structured as two credit notes and a memorandum of understanding (MoU). The combined credit notes, valued at $1.1 billion, will mature in 2032. The partners also announced a maturity extension of a revolving credit facility worth $350 million until 2030.
The partners also signed an MoU to secure technical cooperation for the development of projects related to decarbonization and biodiversity preservation. The MoU will support projects related to the ‘green finance’ concept and focus on actions to prevent climate change.
An external consultancy firm will be evaluating compliance with the company’s energy transition commitments every year.
PBR’s Commitment Toward Energy Transition
Low-carbon initiatives have always been Petrobras’ goal. These funding initiatives highlight the company’s commitment to energy transition, which contributes to the country’s development in a responsible manner, aligning with the global sustainability challenges.
A Strategic Partnership for a Greener Future
The agreement between Petrobras and Banco do Brasil is not just financial support but a strategic collaboration focused on green finance and climate-conscious investments. Under this partnership, Banco do Brasil, which already claims net-zero emissions in its direct operations, aims to achieve the same goal across its financed portfolio by 2050, expanding its footprint in the carbon credit market.
For the bank, it is crucial to have a partner like Petrobras in this mission, as the company is equally committed to innovation along with social, environmental and climate sustainability without losing focus on its mission of developing the country.
