Brazil holds one of the world’s largest untapped resources for e-fuel: abundant biogenic CO₂ 🌱 In 2024 alone, 29 Mt came from ethanol production — and much more from pulp & paper, biogas, and beyond. This positions 🇧🇷 as a global leader in sustainable #EFuels under #ReFuelEU.

At the YTEC event, our Head of Strategy shared insights on strategic and regulatory roadmaps key to eSAF success. Securing an eSAF offtake contract? Understanding EU regulations is mission-critical—they shape contracts, technical, and commercial frameworks for long-term success.

Brazil imports 40M tonnes of fertilizer yearly, costing $27B in 2022—mostly from Russia, Canada, and China. 💡Green hydrogen can drive local fertilizer production, using Brazil’s resources to produce green ammonia, reduce food production risks, and ease the foreign balance.

✈️@ICAO approved 11 pathways for SAF production. SAF must meet some sustainability indicators in 3 categories: 1. GHG and Carbon Stock 2. GHG reduction permanence, site Conservation, Waste, Chemicals, Seismic & Vibrational Impacts 3. Human, labor, land rights & social development

The lack of expansion of electricity grids can be a bottleneck to reach Net Zero @IEA: we need a 20% faster growth in global electricity use over the next 10y to achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2050. However, transmission grids, could be a detractor for full renewables development

🌿 Synthetic fuels are crucial to Net Zero, converting H2 and biogenic CO2 into long-chain hydrocarbons. Key sources of CO2 are biofuel production and biomass power plants DAC is promising but needs more scalability 💡 @IEA: CO2 from bioethanol is the most cost-competitive option

🌿Geopolitics of Green Hydrogen: possible effects • New power nodes could emerge in regions with low-cost renewable energy • H2 trade and investment flows will differ from traditional fossil fuel-based energy relationships • Trade will shift from O&G to biofuels, H2 and others

🌱F Haber & C Bosch pioneered the Haber-Bosch process, transforming agriculture by enabling the synthesis of ammonia from NH and H2 gases on a large scale.🌱 With this process, we can eliminate reliance on fossil fuels and reduce carbon emissions on fertilizers production 🌍

🌍 Understanding the Challenge: Did you know that 25% of current CO2 emissions stem from hard-to-abate sectors, contributing 8 GT CO2/yr? This is a significant concern and, without action, these emissions could surge by 50% by 2050!
