This policy brief examines Brazil’s role in the Organization of the Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC+) dialogue group and the challenges related to the
global energy transition. Given the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and
mitigate the impacts of climate change, Brazil, as one of the largest oil producers
and holder of a diversified energy matrix, needs to balance its oil production
with the advancement of renewable energies. Brazil’s entry as an observer in
OPEC+ reflects strategic motivations, including the search for a greater role in
the global energy scenario and the need to closely monitor decisions that affect
the oil market. In developing this policy brief, the challenges and opportunities
for Brazil to balance its oil production with the advancement of renewable
energies were analyzed, considering its participation as an observer in OPEC+
and its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals. The policy
implications highlight the importance of active energy diplomacy and sustainable
practices that consolidate Brazil as a leader in the energy transition,
strengthening its competitiveness in the oil sector while advancing sustainable
development. This document offers recommendations for Brazil to direct its
energy policies in a way that ensures a fair and balanced energy transition.
Recommendations include strengthening energy diplomacy, promoting
sustainable practices in oil exploration, and expanding the use of renewable
energy. These actions are directly aligned with specific Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs): SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), promoting the use of
renewable sources; SDG 13 (Climate Action), by reducing emissions in the oil
sector; and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), by fostering job
creation in the transition to a low-carbon economy. Implementing these policies
is crucial for Brazil to position itself as a leader in the global energy transition,
consolidating its relevance in the oil sector while promoting sustainable
economic development aligned with international goals to combat climate
change. The study analyzed existing strategies for diversifying Brazil s energy
matrix and adopting sustainable practices in the oil sector, including initiatives
such as expanding the use of biofuels, investing in solar and wind energy, and
programs to modernize energy infrastructure, such as smart grids. Brazil s
diplomatic efforts in OPEC+ and in global climate forums were also considered,
highlighting the search for a balance between oil production and climate
commitments. In terms of political implications, it is important to highlight the
importance of integrated governance between different ministries and agencies,
such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Mines and Energy
(MME) and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MMA), the
Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA),
the Energy Research Company (EPE), the National Bank for Economic and
Social Development (BNDES), the Ministry of Development, Industry,
Commerce and Services (MDIC), the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural
Gas and Biofuels (ANP), the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL),
Petrobras itself and the Ministry of Finance, to align climate goals with
economic strategies. In addition, the energy transition strengthens Brazil s
international position as an example of an emerging country that reconciles
economic growth and sustainability, while domestically promoting job creation
in clean sectors, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and reinforcing Brazil s role
as a key player in global discussions on climate and energy.
