Bunge partnership brings certified soy to SAF in Brazil
In Brazil, World Grain reported that an initiative among Bunge Global, energy company Petrobras and fuel distributor Vibra has produced the first sustainable aviation fuel made from Brazilian soybeans with ISCC CORSIA PLUS Low-LUC Risk certification.
Bunge originates and certifies the soybeans to produce vegetable oil at its crush plant in Rondonópolis. Petrobras, in turn, produces the SAF at its Duque de Caxias plant through the co-processing of this oil with a mineral-based feedstock. Vibra, through its BR Aviation business unit, is responsible for the distribution and commercialization infrastructure of the fuel for the aviation sector, according to the report.
The project foresees the production and commercialization of 4,000 cubic meters of aviation fuel with 1% renewable content, a volume sufficient to supply the operation of 1,600 flights on the Rio-São Paulo air bridge. Initially offered at Galeão International Airport (GIG) in Rio de Janeiro, Vibra’s storage base has ISCC EU and ISCC CORSIA certification, guaranteeing full traceability and compliance with international sustainability criteria, the report added.
