Brazil's Petrobras is set to invest 6bn reais (US$1bn) in fertilizers by 2029 as part of its strategic plan to reduce the country's dependence on fertilizer imports and enhance the demand for natural gas and hydrogen. This move is aligned with the federal government's push for economic diversification and decarbonization initiatives. Petrobras aims to resume operations at two fertilizer plants in Bahia and Sergipe states while conducting maintenance at the Araucária Nitrogenados plant in Paraná state. Additionally, the UFN-III fertilizer project in Mato Grosso do Sul is progressing towards operations, with a completion target set for 2028 after facing construction delays. The company is also evaluating the UFN V fertilizer project in Minas Gerais state. These endeavors signify Petrobras' commitment to strengthening the fertilizer industry within Brazil and fostering sustainable business practices in line with energy transition goals.
