 years, we have made substantial investments in our existing refineries to increase our capacity to economically process heavier Brazilian crude oil, improve the quality of our oil products to meet stricter regulatory standards, modernize our refineries, and reduce the environmental impact of our refining operations.
 One such investment is the implementation of a new diesel hydrotreatment unit at the Paulínia Refinery (“REPLAN”), currently in the process of construction and assembling equipment and installations.
 With this project, REPLAN is expected to be able to produce 100% ultra-low sulfur diesel (the “ULSD” or the “S-10”) and increase the production of jet fuel, aiming to meet the specification and quantities demanded by the future market, in an economic way, with operational safety and lower impacts to the environment.
 The new diesel hydrotreatment unit is expected to have a production capacity of 63 mbbl/d of S-10 and is scheduled to start operation in 2025, in line with the Strategic Plan.
 The following table sets out the performance of our refineries.
