Abstract

We seek to debate the fallacy of the notion of energy transition. To this end we are based on the case study of energy production and consumption and the emission of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) in Brazil and, more particularly, the Petrobras group (Petróleo Brasileiro SA). We start from the hypothesis that the transition is a myth that covers up the real urgency of reducing global warming and exiting the economic processes of capital accumulation. Until society changes radically, the transition serves as an excuse, including for oil companies, to continue their activities of expanding production, infrastructure and oil exploration.
