Brazil stands out as a champion in the global carbon removal race, especially in the biofuel sector. As the headquarters of the upcoming World Climate Conference, COP30, which will be held in November, in Belém Do Pará, the country has a huge set of opportunities, which not only reduces carbon fingerprint but also generates jobs.
Biological fuel, produced from raw materials such as sugar cane, soybeans and corn, is a more sustainable alternative to fossil fuel. This is due to the fact that its agricultural production picks carbon dioxide during the growth of the plants used.
Economic impact and job creation
The impressive biological sector moved $ 320 billion by 2023, which contributed 10 % of the expansion of global GDP. In the biofuel sector alone, 2.8 million new jobs were created, part of a total growth of 18 % in this sector, which led to 16.2 million new vacancies.
The International Energy Agency data indicates a 22 % estimated growth in global demand for biofuels by 2027. This projection places southern global countries, especially in Brazil, due to favorable agricultural and climate characteristics.
Diversification and innovation in the sector
Brazil is not limited to traditional biofuels. The country is developing innovative alternatives, such as electrical installations, derived from green hydrogen, biomass, and biomed diesel fuel. These options are in line with the concept of a circular economy and provide sustainable solutions to various sectors, including navigation.
The production of sustainable aviation fuel is also on the radar, with the aim of accelerating the process of removing the global carbon. These initiatives not only contribute to reducing carbon emissions, but also to the Brazilian position as a leader in moving to a more green and sustainable economy.
