The Certification Obtained by Raízen Demonstrates an Extremely Important Step in the Development of Sustainable Energy and Biofuels Like SAF
Raízen, one of the leading companies in the energy sector, took a significant step towards sustainability by receiving the coveted ISCC CORSIA Plus certification (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation). This certification confirms that the ethanol biofuels produced in its Costa Pinto bioenergy facility, located in Piracicaba (SP), meet the rigorous international standards for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), according to the Petronotícias website.
This achievement consolidates Raízen as the world’s first ethanol producer to receive this SAF certification, establishing it as a leader at the forefront of advanced biofuels and emphasizing Brazil’s role in this scenario.
Elevated Sustainability: The Impact of SAF Certification on Fuel Production in the Energy Transition
By receiving the ISCC CORSIA Plus certification, Raízen reaches a significant milestone in the energy transition. This certification recognizes that the company is producing sustainable ethanol (SAF), considering social, environmental, and economic criteria throughout the entire biofuels value chain. This comprehensive and responsible approach is essential to meet the demands of a world seeking cleaner and more effective energy solutions.

In addition to representing a milestone in biofuel production, this certification confirms Raízen as a leader in the energy transition, especially in hard-to-decarbonize sectors like aviation. The company is now a pioneer in supplying ethanol for SAF production, highlighting its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and its prominent position in challenging markets like aviation.
The Path to a Sustainable Future Through Fuels
Francis Queen, Vice President of Ethanol, Sugar, and Bioenergy at Raízen, emphasizes the company’s commitment to cleaner and more sustainable alternatives, noting that the pursuit of a reduced carbon footprint is a global challenge. Ethanol from sugarcane, produced with productivity gains and investments in innovation, reinforces Raízen’s commitment to emissions reduction and sustainability, contributing to decarbonization across various sectors of the economy.
SAF as a Crucial Strategy for Emission Reduction in Aviation
The demand for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is rising, driven by the desire to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. SAF biofuels, produced from renewable feedstocks, have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to fossil aviation fuels, according to IATA (International Air Transport Association).
Raízen’s certification positions it as a key player in this biofuels landscape, aligning with the targets set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for reducing emissions in the aviation industry.
The ISCC CORSIA Plus certification not only reinforces Raízen’s leadership in sustainable biofuel production but also highlights its commitment to being a partner of choice in low carbon solutions. By becoming the world’s first ethanol producer with this certification, Raízen plays a vital role in building a more sustainable energy future in harmony with the environment.
