The energy sector is in turmoil with multiple possible scenarios, with huge economic, social, political, environmental, and technological implications. The big question is, what could be the potential role of biofuels for transport in this emerging and mixed energy scenario, and more specifically in Brazil? In the very short term, this uncertainty will translate in greater increase of oil…
The aviation industry is highly committed to reduce carbon dioxide making air transportation sustainable! Among the actions, several companies are considering the use of sustainable biofuels to replace fossil kerosene. Biofuels, if produced sustainably, can be an ideal technical solution (as "drop in fuel") and also create quality jobs and wealth, both locally and globally. With these obj…
