Key Facts
New target — Petrobras aims to meet 100% of Brazil’s diesel demand by 2031, up from 85% under the current 2026–2030 plan.
Current gap — The company currently supplies about 70% of national demand, with the rest coming from private refiners and imports.
Production capacity — Petrobras today can produce roughly 700,000 barrels per day of diesel; that rises to about 950,000–970,000 by 2030.
