GHG Emissions Intensity in Logistic Support Activities
The performance of our logistics support segment for exploration and production activities, which includes vessel operations, offshore air transport, port operations, road transport and storage, is monitored internally by indicators of emissions intensity per ton of transported cargo, in the case of Platform Supply Vessels, or per passenger transported, in the case of air transport by helicopters used in our offshore activities.
In 2022, the main initiatives that made it possible to reduce emissions in logistical support activities were:
> Management and speed control of support vessels, in which, based on procedures and monitoring, a 13% reduction in the emissions intensity by PSV-type vessels was verified, without affecting the level of service provided to client maritime units;
> Testing of a new support vessel route optimization system, in which optimal routes for delivering cargo to platforms are mapped, so as to reduce distances and navigation times;
> Engagement with the market of maritime support vessels, aviation, and land logistics to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By meetings with senior management and including the low-carbon issue in PEOTRAM (Programa de Excelência Operacional no Transporte Aéreo e Marítimo – Program for Operational Excellence in Air and Maritime Transport) audits used in our procurement processes.
Since 2015, several actions have contributed to a 40% reduction in emissions in the fleet of support vessels and aircraft, including:
> Optimization of the fleet of vessels and aircraft
> Optimization of flights in the Campos Basin
> Optimization of vessel routes
> Strategic initiative to reduce diesel consumption
> Implementation of service clusters (for rigs and production units)
> Fleet of multipurpose vessels
Beginning in 2023, new emission efficiency metrics in E&P Logistics will be monitored internally, such as GHG Emissions Intensity per ton of cargo transported by maritime support vessels and GHG Emissions Intensity per passenger transported in helicopters.
