INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Imagine a future where jumbo jets soar through the skies powered by fuel made from sugarcane
known for its vast agricultural resources, is emerging as an unexpected hero in the fight against climate change
The country is positioning itself as a leading producer of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), a cleaner alternative to traditional jet fuel
advantage in SAF production is rooted in its expertise with ethanol, a biofuel the country has been producing at scale for decades
Brazilian ethanol, primarily derived from sugarcane, is considered one of the best raw materials for SAF due to its low carbon

leader in sustainable technology
revenue.Moreover, by producing SAF domestically rather than simply exporting ethanol, Brazil aims to capture more value from its resources
particularly from the United States
offers substantial incentives for SAF production through recent climate legislation
As air travel continues to grow, finding sustainable fuel sources is crucial for combating climate change
Next?As Brazil ramps up its SAF production, we can expect to see increased foreign investment in Brazilian agriculture and biofuel
technology, more airlines partnering with Brazilian SAF producers, and potential shifts in global energy trade as SAF becomes a major
development worth watching closely
