Chinese Company Envision Bets on Sugarcane to Develop SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) in Brazilian Soil and Strengthens Energy Partnership with the Country.
The Chinese multinational Envision Energy announced a US$1 billion investment in Brazil, focusing on the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from sugarcane.
The initiative, announced this Monday (12) by the Palácio do Planalto, aligns with the commitments made during President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s official visit to China and solidifies Brazil as a key player in the global energy transition.
Envision’s proposal aligns with global strategies for sustainable solutions in the air transport sector, reducing carbon emissions and fostering innovation based on renewable raw materials.
