Roberto Ardenghy, Board Member of the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce, and president of the Brazilian Institute of Oil and Gas (IBP), emphasizes the critical role of Brazilian oil in the global decarbonization process. He argues that an urgent energy transition is necessary to combat the ongoing climate crisis, asserting that decarbonization does not equate to a world devoid of hydrocarbons, as dependence on fossil fuels remains. Ardenghy advocates for a sustainable transition, highlighting that Brazil produces “cleaner” oil, with lower greenhouse gas emissions during extraction, a feat made possible through technological investments. In a recent video, he outlines the steps needed to make oil and gas exploration cleaner and more efficient, addressing the challenges involved in this transition.
