Brazil SAF projects draw R$75bn in proposals as emissions rules loom

Brazil's BNDES and Finep received R$75bn in investment proposals for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) projects from Petrobras, Acelen, and Energisa, per state-linked EPE. The push follows new aviation emission reduction regulations, though SAF remains costlier than fossil fuel. The scale signals a major industrial shift, but actual investment hinges on policy support and cost competitiveness.
