en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazil's Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) participated in the SAF Global Congress held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 15 to 17, the premier international event focused on sustainable aviation fuel. Representing the ministry, Renato Dutra, National Secretary for Oil, Natural Gas and Biofuels, presented Brazil's policy progress in this field and highlighted opportunities to expand investment and strengthen the domestic sustainable fuel industry chain.
During the congress, the Brazilian delegation participated in multiple panel discussions exploring the role of governments in creating a favorable investment environment for SAF, highlighting Brazil's potential to expand fuel production, and how Latin America can transform its competitive advantages into commercial-scale projects. In addition to the MME, the Brazilian delegation included the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), the Brazilian Agency for Research and Project Financing (FINEP), and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil).
The debates brought together key global players, including representatives from governments, companies, airlines, and financial institutions. In his speech, the secretary emphasized that, with its accumulated experience in biofuel production, feedstock diversity, and the regulatory environment built in recent years, Brazil is uniquely positioned to consolidate its status as a major global supplier of sustainable aviation fuel. Dutra stated: "Brazil has competitive advantages that few countries possess. We are building a secure investment environment and engaging in dialogue with major international players to turn this potential into concrete projects, job opportunities, and sustainable development."
In addition to the prospects of the Brazilian market, discussions also covered SAF production incentive mechanisms, challenges in reducing costs, strategies for different countries to achieve aviation decarbonization targets, and the role of international cooperation in expanding global fuel supply. The meeting also explored opportunities to enhance integration among Latin American countries and increase the region's participation in the aviation energy transition.
According to research presented by the MME during the event, Brazil has the potential to produce up to 9 billion liters of SAF using identified feedstocks, equivalent to approximately 125% of Brazil's current fossil aviation kerosene consumption, reinforcing the country's position as a potential exporter. Furthermore, commercial-scale projects are expected to boost domestic supply to around 3.6 billion liters per year by 2035, solidifying Brazil's status as an important investment hub for the sustainable aviation fuel industry.
