Belem Bioenergia Brasil (BBB) was a joint-venture established in 2011 by Petrobras and Galp to produce vegetable oil in Brazil. In August 2019, Petrobras announced its intention to divest its stake in BBB to Galp as part of its portfolio optimization.
After all precedent conditions were met, the transaction was completed on November 1, 2019, and PBIO is entitled to receive about R$ 24.7 million (≈ EUR 5.53 million), which will be retained by Galp until December 2020 to offset potential indemnity payments.
