Brazilian state-owned company Petrobras is researching the integration of bitcoin mining into its processes as a means to lower its carbon emissions. Marcelo Curi, a blockchain and crypto architect at Petrobras, stated that the company is exploring this application and other Web3 applications as part of its efforts to reduce carbon emissions. This move follows a trend among large oil companies, such as Exxon Mobil and Tecpetrol, which have also considered using bitcoin mining as a complementary activity to mitigate gas emissions and increase productivity in their operations. Petrobras will examine blockchain, tokenization, and Web3 possibilities as well.
