Brazil has the potential to become one of the major global players in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), a Boeing executive said on Tuesday, as the sector attempts to meet its ambitious goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The target agreed within the International Air Transport Association (IATA) representing airlines will largely depend on the development and increased production of SAF, which is made from renewable resources such as vegetable oils or waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The South American country, one of the world\u2019s largest agricultural producers, is already a global leader in biofuels such as ethanol, made from sugarcane or corn, and soyoil-derived biodiesel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBrazil has the technical capacity, qualified workforce and raw material to post the concrete results and impacts needed for us to solve together this global challenge of how to decarbonize aviation,\u201d Boeing\u2019s Latin America and the Caribbean head, Landon Loomis, told a forum hosted by the company in Sao Paulo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBoeing already is one of the world\u2019s largest buyers of sustainable aviation fuel,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While radical technological change is deemed key to cutting aviation emissions, the sector\u2019s main focus has been on fuels that can be used in existing jet engines, such as plant or waste-based SAF and synthetic alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Securing enough SAF supply is the industry\u2019s biggest challenge in its push for net-zero emissions, amid high costs and slow production growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IATA estimates the use of SAF could account for 65% of the industry\u2019s efforts to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qatar Airways Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker in May suggested the sector would not be able to achieve the emissions target because of inadequate SAF supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazilian airline Gol said it sees SAF supply as an urgent matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we don\u2019t start right now, we will not get there,\u201d Gol\u2019s Operations Control Center director Eduardo Calderon told the event on Tuesday, noting that SAF costs are currently three times higher than those of fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe world is already lagging behind. If we don\u2019t start that SAF process very soon, we won\u2019t reach this ambitious 2050 goal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
