The Coari Terminal is located in the Amazon rainforest and is key for the outflow of oil and gas produced by Petrobras in the region. The Coari Terminal is not connected to the power grid.

Implementation of the solar generation plant is scheduled to be completed in H1 2027.

The initiative is part of Transpetro’s sustainability agenda, with the expansion of the use of renewable sources and the decarbonisation of its operations.
