Petrobras specialists participate in Nobel Prize-winning project

The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize was delivered this Monday in Oslo (Norway), to former US vice-president, Al Gore, and to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is formed by 2,500 scientists. Petrobras participated in the prize via three researchers who are members of the IPCC's team: Paulo Cunha, Petrobras Research Center (Cenpes) technical consultant; Paulo Rocha, senior consultant at the Bahia Exploration & Production business unit; and José Domingos Miguez, operating research analyst for the Safety, Environment and Health (SEH) area and currently assigned to the Ministry of Science and Technology.

The award acknowledges the importance of divulging information on climate change as well as regarding the measures that are required to mitigate it. This is the first time the Nobel Prize was not individual, as it was shared by Al Gore and by the members of the IPCC, which includes scientists from all over the world who discuss, compile, and divulge studies on climate changes.
