In Brazil, Petrobras and Vale announced an agreement to supply products focused on competitiveness and advancing the decarbonization agenda. The agreement includes the use of Diesel R in the mining company’s vehicles.
The agreement provides for joint action by companies to assess low-carbon business opportunities, including, among others, co-processed diesel with renewable content, natural gas and bunker with 24% renewable content.
Supplied by Petrobras, Diesel R is fueling a locomotive that runs along the railroad route from Espírito Santo to Minas Gerais; in addition to an off-road truck with a capacity of 214 tons, which operates at the Fábrica Nova mine, in the Mariana Complex (MG).
This is Petrobras’ first sale of its co-processed diesel with renewable content directly to an end consumer. Produced by the company from the co-processing of petroleum derivatives with raw materials of plant origin, diesel B R5, in addition to its renewable content, also has the mandatory blend of 14% biodiesel, delivering to the customer a fuel with 18.3% sustainable content.
