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.

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.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Intrigued by the resistance of Amazonian fish in warm, acidic, and low-oxygen waters, a scientist from INPA turned the rivers of the Amazon into a natural laboratory and has just gained international recognition.

Florida goes after Burmese pythons in the Everglades, removes 3.7 tons of invasive snakes, and prevents more than 4,000 hatchlings from being born in the swamps.

Desert sand, previously discarded by construction, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, using slag and industrial ash, reducing dependence on Portland cement and making a bold bet to cut carbon without kilns or thermal curing in an experimental scale.

The state of Paraná offers 3,500 free technical course slots in 2026 and begins a new phase of professional training with enrollment open until June 30, strengthening workforce development in sectors that drive the regional economy.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
