Energy Startups: New Momentum for Maritime Innovation

Brazil’s National Petroleum Agency (ANP) launched the first edition of its startup program, NAVE, with remarkable participation. The initiative is a strong step toward accelerating the energy transition in the country.

Startups + Energy Giants Power Maritime Innovation

Nine energy leaders, Petrogal Brasil, TotalEnergies, CNPC, Shell, ExxonMobil, Equinor, Repsol Sinopec, Petrobras, and CNOOC, are backing the program, each contributing R$ 3.5 million to support innovation in the sector.

For the marine fuel market, especially for AUS40, a critical product for cleaner maritime operations, this movement is highly relevant. The integration of startups into the energy and logistics chain promises advancements in decarbonization, efficiency, and global competitiveness.
