The dynamic number displayed in the Portal represents the approximate reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) that the Petrobras Group is avoiding to release to the environment when using Petronect to make purchases electronically.

The report below displays the environmental impact reduction of the Petrobras Group through the saving of paper and travels in the period of 2003-2013.

Since 2003, the Petrobras Group uses the Portal as a tool to transact the following purchasing activities: electronic quotation, electronic auction and electronic order.

Offline Period (average estimated weight):

• A purchasing process (quotation/auction) weights 500 grams of paper
• To issue an order, 50 grams of paper are necessary.

Data:
One tonne of new paper requires 55 eucalyptus, 100 thousand liters of water and 5 thousand Kw/h of energy. Regarding the impact of carbon dioxide, 400 kg of CO2 would be required to produce one tonne of paper and these 400 kg of CO2 would no longer be absorbed in photosynthesis of the trees.
