The ANP held a public hearing to discuss adjustments to the aviation kerosene standard, seeking international standardization, incentives for sustainable fuels and safety in air supply.

Os aviation kerosene returned to the center of regulatory discussions in Brazil after the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) to hold, on October 8, 2025, a public hearing on the proposed amendment to the ANP Resolution No. 856/2021.

The standard defines technical specifications and control rules quality for fuels used in aircraft in the countryaccording to one matter published.

The main focus of the meeting was to adjust national terminology and requirements to international standards, especially regarding the blending of fossil and alternative kerosene.

International alignment and updating of technical standards

The main point debated by the ANP was the replacement of the name JET C by the nomenclature JET A or JET A-1, used internationally.

This standardization of aviation kerosene meets the requests of International Air Transport Association (IATA) and ASTM International, who highlighted that globally approved aircraft do not recognize the term JET C in their technical records.

The proposed adaptation, therefore, eliminates regulatory barriers and ensures compatibility with global supply standards, strengthening operational safety and reliability in air transport.

The agency also proposed adjustments to the testing methods, production routes and technical notes in the resolution's annex, in order to keep the Brazilian regulation in sync with international practices regarding aviation kerosene.

This harmonization is seen as essential to ensure competitiveness and allow Brazil to keep up with the pace of innovation observed in other markets.

The new list of products with discounts under Pronaf came into effect on October 10 and remains valid until November 9, bringing an important boost to the income of family farmers across the country.

Encouraging the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF)

During the review process, ANP identified that the change will allow the import of JET A or JET A-1 that already contain a portion of renewable fuel blended in.

This measure may encourage the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) in the country, especially at a time when national production does not yet exist and global supply remains limited.

The possibility of importing mixtures of aviation kerosene containing SAF represents a strategic advance towards the energy transition of the Brazilian aviation sector.

In addition to reducing emissions, the initiative puts Brazil in a favorable position for future policies to encourage local production and integration of renewable sources in the civil aviation matrix.

Public participation and the next regulatory step

The draft of the new resolution underwent public consultation between August 13 and September 26, 2025, during which period 100 contributions were received from eight institutions.

The suggestions sent will be analyzed by ANP technical area, which may adjust the final text before submitting it to the Federal Prosecutor's Office at the ANP and to the agency's collegiate board for approval.

This broad participation reinforces the transparency of the regulatory process and the ANP's commitment to governance and dialogue with economic agents in the energy and fuel sector.

The expected result is a modern, safe standard aligned with market needs. aviation kerosene, capable of strengthening Brazil's presence in the global agenda of decarbonizing aircraft, whether commercial or military.
