Reported result
10,000 tCO2/year reduction attributed to real-time AI industrial-flare control.
What this does not establish
Do not assign the full result specifically to Smart Tocha: the slide does not name it. No baseline, measurement period, plant count or emissions calculation method. P-52 is newly identified scope, not proof that the strategy-deck 10,000 tCO2/year result belongs to P-52 or Smart Tocha.
Adds quantified company evidence to the existing flare-control topic without claiming a confirmed product-level attribution.

Disclosure history
Smart Tocha AI flare combustion monitoring and adjustment
Company-stated planned availability across new units by 2026; actual completion not verified
P-52 flare-reduction application: platform scope added
Petrobras reports applying AI to reduce flare burning at P-52 in 2025. It gives no platform-specific result or launch date. Roncador/Campos location is supported by a separate dated Petrobras field source; company-level flare metrics remain separate.
