Sustainability assessments of biomass and bioenergy and social perspectives
Technological, Environmental, and Economic Potential of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) in the Brazilian Context
Short Introductive summary
The project aim to analyze the potential of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) in Brazil by assessing their technological pathways, environmental benefits, and economic feasibility, with the goal of proposing strategic recommendations for their implementation. This Project has considered the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation sector—one of the most challenging to decarbonize—while meeting Brazil’s climate commitments and enhancing the country’s competitiveness in the global clean energy market. Given the availability of biomass, the well-established bioenergy sector, and the potential for integration with other production chains, Brazil possesses favorable conditions to become a key player in SAF production. Therefore, this study was essential to evaluate the technological viability, environmental benefits, and economic impacts of SAF within the national context, providing valuable insights to support public policies, strategic investments, and industrial innovation.
