巴西同意Petrobras在亚马逊河口开始海上石油钻探, Brazil approves Petrobras to start offshore oil drilling in the Amazon’s mouth, sparking environmental concerns.

巴西已批准Petrobras在亚马逊河口附近的Foz do Amazonas地区开始勘探石油钻探, Brazil has approved Petrobras to begin exploratory oil drilling in the Foz do Amazonas region, near the Amazon River’s mouth, marking a major step in the country’s offshore energy ambitions. 立即开始的五个月项目将收集地质数据,但不涉及石油生产。 The five-month project, starting immediately, will gather geological data but will not involve oil production. 尽管在主办COP30之前,巴西在气候方面的承诺受到了破坏, 但政府和Petrobras表示该项目符合许可证发放规则。 Despite environmental concerns and criticism from conservation groups who say the move undermines Brazil’s climate commitments ahead of hosting COP30, the government and Petrobras say the project complies with licensing rules. 巴西环境机构伊巴马(Ibama)在最初因溢漏反应计划不足而被拒绝后推翻了这一决定。 The decision follows a reversal by Brazil’s environmental agency, Ibama, after initial rejections due to inadequate spill response plans. 环境学家认为批准程序存在法律和技术缺陷,可能会损害生物多样化海洋生态系统。 Environmentalists argue the approval process had legal and technical flaws and could harm a biodiverse marine ecosystem.
