In India, BioEnergy Times reported that Brazil is poised for a major shift toward SAF beginning in 2027, with consumption projected to reach 0.03 million tons of oil equivalent (Mtoe) by 2035, according to the Energy Research Company (EPE).
In its publication “Energy Demand of the Transport Sector,” part of the 2035 Ten-Year Energy Plan (PDE), the state-owned entity reports that SAF consumption will account for roughly 12% of domestic energy demand linked to passenger air transport by 2035.
The expected expansion is attributed to emission reduction targets under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (Corsia) and ProBioQAV, established by the federal Fuel of the Future program. EPE notes that 2027 marks the start of mandatory greenhouse gas (GHG) emission cuts for domestic operations by Brazilian airlines, according to the report.
Petrobras and Acelen are among the companies advancing research and planning SAF production in the country, it added.
