The project plans to build a unit dedicated to the production of aviation bio-kerosene (bioQAV) and renewable diesel at the Presidente Bernardes Refinery (RPBC) in Cubatão (SP), with an estimated investment of approximately $1.2 billion.

The project then enters the phase of signing and executing necessary agreements. Petrobrás expects to begin construction by the end of 2026. The project is part of the company's 2026-2030 business plan, has been included in the company's base implementation project portfolio, and considers financing conditions.

The future unit will have the capacity to produce up to 15,000 barrels per day of renewable fuels, including aviation bio-kerosene and renewable diesel. Commissioning is expected in 2030.

Petrobrás stated that the project is a strategic component of the company's expansion in the low-carbon fuel sector, aligning with the targets set by the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) and the guidelines of the Future Fuels Law (Law No. 14.993/2024), which aims to promote decarbonization in Brazil's transportation and aviation sectors.
