Energy & LNG: Petrobras is revisiting an FLNG option for Brazil’s pre-salt Santos basin, after earlier studies proved it uneconomic—now the company is re-checking suppliers and economics for a floating LNG solution. Hydrogen Industrialization: Petrobras launched a 150m reais push with Finep to develop an industrial electrolyser for low-carbon hydrogen, with a 50% local content requirement and a focus on reducing cost and dependence on imported tech. Oil & Gas Infrastructure: Petrobras also continues evaluating hydrogen production tech and broader decarbonization pathways, signaling more bets on next-gen energy equipment. Food Safety Oversight: The EU’s Alert and Cooperation Network topped 10,000 food-violation notifications in 2025, with cross-border listeria outbreaks underscoring the need for faster recalls. Trade & Agribusiness: EU-Mercosur tariff progress is opening doors for Brazilian cachaça exports, while China’s beef safeguard quota threatens higher tariffs for Brazilian suppliers once the quota is filled. Digital Payments: SQRIL expands scan-to-pay QR stablecoin payments into Central Asia, pitching lower fees and wider merchant acceptance versus card networks. Brazilian Industry & Logistics: Rio’s Viracopos airport strengthens cargo positioning, and port upgrades (like Rio Brasil Terminal’s quay cranes) point to continued investment in handling capacity.
