Brazil publishes regulations for SAF mandate program
In North Dakota, Biomass Magazine reported that the government of Brazil on August 12 published a decree that establishes rules and regulations for the country’s sustainable aviation fuel mandate, formally referred to as the National Sustainable Aviation Fuel Program (ProBioQAV).
ProBioQAV was established by Brazil’s Fuel of the Future Law in October 2024. The program requires domestic airline operators to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions starting with a 1% reduction in 2027 and scaling up to a 10% reduction in 2037. The program includes a book-and-claim chain-of-custody model that allows the physical product and its environmental attributes to be traded by different commercial operations and purchasers, according to the report.
Under the newly announced regulations, the carbon intensity (CI) of SAF can be determined during the REnovaBio carbon intensity calculation tool or the ICAO CORISA methodology, it added.
According to the decree, Brazil’s National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) and the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) are to issue complementary regulations necessary to implement the SAF mandate by December 18, 2026.
