Petrobras and Equinor are teaming up to evaluate potential offshore wind development in Brazil.
The South American and Norwegian companies have signed a memorandum of understanding paving the way for a joint approach to the sector.
“Within the scope of the strategic partnership between the two companies, Petrobras and Equinor have been researching other potential areas for cooperation, including the development of renewable energy initiatives,” said Petrobras.
It added that joint studies are part of a strategy "to develop high-value businesses in renewable energy in partnership with major global players, aiming at the transition to a low-carbon matrix".
The MoU does not establish obligations for the parties to undertake any business but "indicates the intention of the companies to work together to develop projects in the offshore wind energy industry”, said Petrobras.
The Brazilian company is already active in renewables with 104MW of onshore wind via partnerships in its home country. Equinor projects include both traditional and floating wind (pictured).
