Chinese company Envision is betting on sugarcane to develop SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) on Brazilian soil and is intensifying its energy partnership with the country.
Chinese multinational Envision Energy has announced a investment of US$1 billion in Brazil, focusing on the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from sugarcane.
The initiative, announced this Monday (12) by the Planalto Palace, is part of the commitments made during President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s official visit to China, and consolidates Brazil as a key player in the global energy transition.
Envision’s proposal is in line with global strategies for sustainable solutions in the air transport sector, reducing carbon emissions and promoting innovation based on renewable raw materials.
The financial and technological contribution will be essential to boost national production of SAF, placing Brazil in a prominent position in this new market.
Envision’s strategic bet on Brazil
Envision Energy is a globally recognized leader in green technology, operating in the smart wind turbine, energy storage and green hydrogen sectors.
With sustainable operations spread across several countries, the company has sought solutions to accelerate the decarbonization of the global energy matrix.
In Brazil, the choice of sugarcane as the basis for SAF reinforces the country’s agricultural potential and its leading role in bioenergy.
The initiative should generate jobs, encourage research and attract new partnerships in the clean energy production chain.
Brazil-China cooperation expands with new energy projects
In addition to Envision’s investment, Lula’s visit to China also resulted in other important partnerships.
One of the highlights was the announcement of an agreement between the state-owned Windey Technology and Senai Cimatec, aimed at developing solutions in renewable energy and energy storage…
