Specialists have highlighted the catastrophe that deforestation in the states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí, and Bahia has represented for the biome. Fires in these states are the cause of 108 million tons of CO2 being released into the atmosphere.
Petrobras already re-injects part of the CO2 underground. The idea is to increase the percentage of re-injection by liquefying CO2 using underwater equipment that raises the pressure on the gas.
Currently, 21 platforms that produce oil in the pre-salt layer of the Santos Basin and are operated by Petrobras use Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage technology.
