RSB, Agroicone and University of Campinas publish research on non-crop based SAF potential for Brazil

In Brazil, the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels, in collaboration with Agroicone and colleagues from the University of Campinas, has published the outcomes of research into non-crop feedstock availability and potential in Brazil for the production of SAF. This work is supported by Boeing’s Global Engagement Portfolio, as part of the Fulling the Sustainable Bioeconomy (FTSB) project.

RSB worked with Agroicone to map the availability and potential of bio-based residues for the production of SAF in Brazil in order to support decision-making processes — whether in industry or in the political sphere — towards shaping the SAF market in the country.

With approximately 7 billion liters of jet fuel is consumed every year in Brazil, contributing to annual CO2 emissions of approximately 18 million tons, a swift transition to alternative fuels is urgently required for Brazil to fulfil its global commitments to ICAO’s global carbon offset program known as CORSIA and to ensure overall progress in the fight against the global climate crisis.
