The Minister of the Environment, Marina Silva, argued that the Brazil impose a ceiling for oil production and exploration.
In interview with the British newspaper Financial Times, published this Tuesday (26), the minister stated that the country will not be unable to achieve objectives – like that of triple the use of renewable energy – without imposing a limit on the exploitation of the commodity.
A proposal quoted by Marina could oppose the Federal Government's plans, which aims to transform the country into one of the largest oil producers by 2029.
The idea of the MME (Ministry of Mines and Energy) is to increase national production from 3 million barrels per day to 5.4 million by the end of the decade.
“One problem that will have to be faced is the issue of limits, a ceiling for oil exploration. It is a debate that is not easy, but that oil producing countries will have to face” said Marina, to the Financial Times.
According to the British newspaper, the Brazilian insistence on fossil fuels generated “skepticism” internationally, given the call by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) for countries considered first world to pay the majority of the fight against climate change.
According to the UN (United Nations), without cuts in the production of fossil fuels, all targets related to the objective of preventing the planet's temperature from exceeding the 1.5ºC mark above pre-industrial levels will not be achieved. achieved.
