Roberto Castello Branco, Petrobras CEO Until the 20th, Says That Biofuels, Especially in Aviation and Ships, Will Be Important for “Decarbonization”

Roberto Castello Branco, the current CEO of Petrobras, said this Tuesday (03/02) that biofuels, especially used for the aviation industry, will become an important factor in the “decarbonization” of the transport industry in the future. The example of aviation is very clear, as the biofuels used are derived from plant biomass or waste. Compared to traditional aviation fuels, they produce lower carbon dioxide emissions.

Biofuels: An Alternative to Rising Gasoline and Diesel Prices

Biofuels, a source where all material used for energy generation comes from organic biomass, can become an alternative to reduce the prices of gasoline and diesel, which have consecutively been undergoing adjustments. In this sense, taking simple measures in the ethanol, biodiesel, biogas, and other sectors can positively affect the price of fossil fuels.

With changes in taxes and fiscal incentives, it is possible to reduce the cost of ethanol, biodiesel, and other biofuels. This way, the price of these fuels will also be passed on to the end consumer, which can significantly reduce fossil consumption and switch to biofuels. Brazil can reduce or eliminate its imports of diesel and gasoline, lowering the price of these fuels.
