Aviation Companies Share Environmental Goals, Such as Achieving Net Zero CO2 Emissions on Flights by 2050 Using Renewable Fuels
Embraer announced on Tuesday, November 30, that it has signed a partnership agreement with the American company Pratt & Whitney to collaborate on studies for the development of 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Technical teams from both companies will work together to outline an integrated plan for ground and flight testing using only sustainable fuel in an Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, which features GTF engines.

As diesel prices soar due to conflicts in the Middle East, a Brazilian city decides to test a little-known biofuel that promises to completely replace fossil fuel without adaptation and could change the future of energy in the country.
To produce sustainable aviation fuel, renewable raw materials such as used cooking oil or urban waste are used. This leads to a reduction of lifecycle CO2 emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional aviation fossil fuel.
Currently, aircraft can operate with blends of 50% biofuel and kerosene, according to technical standards set by ASTM International. Aircraft manufacturers (OEMs), fuel suppliers, and regulators are already conducting studies that will allow new standards to certify the operation of aircraft using 100% renewable fuel, as stated in a press release.
Arjan Meijer, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation, stated that “Embraer has a recognized history of innovation in sustainable fuels, which includes the first aircraft certified to operate on ethanol in 2004, and collaboration is an essential prerequisite for our industry to achieve our environmental goals.”
