Low Carbon Power

Addressing key challenges in offshore energy by developing hybrid power plants that integrate gas-to-wire, carbon capture, and ocean renewable energy, optimizing vertical-axis wind turbines for deep waters, advancing offshore nuclear energy hubs, and innovating dynamic power cables for floating energy platforms.

Digital Technology

Tackles digital twins for oil and gas production, optimal network configurations for power hubs with CCS, big data management, virtual and augmented reality for offshore operations, data fusion for monitoring, a digital center for remote operation simulation, and virtual reality tools for assessing public perception and human-technology interaction.

Novel Materials and Nanotechnology

Focusing on novel coatings for corrosion protection and flow assurance, adsorbent materials for hydrogen and CO2 storage using metal-organic frameworks, and polymeric composites for offshore structures.

HSE & Circular Economy

Comprising circular decommissioning strategies for FPSOs, a Digital Ocean Observatory, remote offshore operation simulations, real-time risk maps, and a carbon credit assessment framework for the energy transition.

THE ROLE OF OFFSHORE IN THE ENERGY TRANSITION

The offshore energy sector will play a crucial role worldwide, whether in the immediate reduction of emissions associated with oil and gas production activities, in future carbon capture, storage, and transformation activities, or in the promotion of new energy sources. Brazil, with 80% of its oil and gas production coming from pre-salt fields, is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation of the offshore industry, thanks to its technology and unique resources.
