Raízen, a leading bioenergy company, has signed
a Letter of Intent with Embraer designed to stimulate the
development of the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production
ecosystem.
Embraer is expected to become the first aircraft
manufacturer to use SAF distributed by Raízen.
Raízen and Embraer sign LOI for development of SAF ecosystem
“SAF plays a key role in reducing aviation
emissions in the short and medium term. Therefore, this agreement
aims to stimulate the growth and sustainability of the value chain
as a whole,” said Carlos Alberto Griner, Vice President of People,
ESG and Communications at Embraer. “ESG is one of the pillars of
our strategic plan and we are looking at every opportunity to
accelerate the reduction of our carbon emissions.”
The movement also reinforces Raízen's commitment
to the development and research of sustainable fuel for sectors
that are mobilizing to seek solutions to their carbon footprint
reduction challenges.
“As an integrated energy company, Raízen has
challenging goals as we intend to expand the offer renewable
energy and fuel sources to the market by 80% and make this
increase as efficient as possible in our production process to
help produce the impact on our customers,” said Antonio Cardoso,
Vice President of Marketing and Services at Raízen. “As the largest
sugarcane ethanol producer in the world, it is only natural that
we are looking at a possible supply of SAF. This partnership with
Embraer, a global reference, reinforces the sustainability agenda
and expansion of the company's portfolio.”
The expectation is that Raízen will help Embraer
reach the goal of having SAF blends representing 100% of its fuel
consumption in Brazil by 2030.
