One of the most notable aspects of the MOU is its focus on the development and promotion of SAF. These fuels play a key role in reducing the carbon footprint of the aviation industry, aligning with global sustainability goals.
Signing Event and International Context
The signing of the MOU took place during the ICAO RAAC/18, held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on February 25, 2025. This event, organized by the International Civil Aviation Organization, served as an ideal platform to consolidate this strategic alliance. The ceremony was attended by Jean-Pierre Bou, Deputy Head of the European Delegation in Brazil, highlighting the diplomatic and regional importance of the agreement.
Promoting Use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF)
One of the fundamental pillars of this agreement is the promotion of the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). The MOU establishes a commitment to exchange relevant information and experience on the future expectations of SAF use in both Europe and Brazil, as well as regionally in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and globally.
Furthermore, the agreement facilitates the implementation of measures to support the development of SAF, including investments and training programs, in line with the ICAO Global Framework for SAF and other cleaner energy initiatives in aviation.
