The Petrobras technology brand in the world

The deepwater challenge has been overcome. We are internationally renowned as a reference in innovation and research in deep and ultra-deep water exploration and production.

At the Leopoldo Américo Miguez de Mello Research & Development Center (Cenpes), we undertake research in submarine robotics; in the fuel that powers your car (the Podium gasoline technology was elaborated, tested, and approved in the Formula 1 racetracks); and in renewable energy, with the spotlight on biofuels; among others.

We allocate 1% of our gross sales to finance new technologies. With this strategic position, we are among the companies that invest the most in research and development in the world.
