Petrobras has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional SA (CSN) and CSN Inova Soluções SA, a company within the group dedicated to innovation projects. This agreement represents a first step towards structuring a business partnership aimed at implementing a low-carbon hydrogen plant on a commercial scale in Paraná.

Low-carbon hydrogen can be used in industrial processes or as a fuel and will be obtained through the electrolysis of water from renewable sources of electrical energy. The initiative aims to support the decarbonization efforts of CSN and Petrobras' operations and products.

The signing of this Memorandum of Understanding is aligned with the 2050 Strategic Plan and the 2025-2029 Business Plan (PN 2025-29), which aim to prepare Petrobras to lead the fair energy transition, reducing its emissions and expanding the offer of more sustainable products.

Establishing business partnerships contributes to mitigating risks, strengthening corporate governance and sharing information, experiences and technologies.
