📋 Tender Overview
Brazil has just released a. The launch took place during the 42nd Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization (OACI), which takes place from September 23 to October 3 in Montreal, Canada.
The document is part of international efforts and compliance with Brazils obligations with OACI to reduce CO2 emissions in civil aviation. The federal governments initiative is coordinated by the Ministry of Ports and Airports, with the participation of the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), the Airspace Control Department (DECEA) and representatives of the air sector.
For Minister Silvio Costa Filho, the plan reinforces the countrys commitment to public policies aligned with sustainability and decarbonization of the sector. The Ministry of Ports and Airports is committed to the adoption of sustainable practices that ensure benefits for both environmental preservation and the strengthening of the civil aviation logistics chain, said Minister Silvio Costa Filho.
The projections show that Brazilian aviation should advance sustainability in the coming years. Although the total number of greenhouse gas emissions increases by 2035, due to the expansion of the sector, the emission intensity index points to a fall trajectory. This means that, proportionally, aviation will pollute less, signaling environmental efficiency gains and a more sustainable future.
Challenges The new edition of the CO2 Emissions Action Plan in Brazilian Civil Aviation brings important news, such as the incorporation of the future fuel law (Law 14.993/24), which establishes the staggered use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) in the country, determining that domestic operations will adopt 1% SAF from 2027, reaching 10% by 2037.
The document also reinforces the focus on environmental impact regulatory programs, such as sustainable airports and sustaining, which promotes and recognizes sustainability actions in air operations of Brazilian companies, as well as stimulating operational measures and technological innovations to increase the efficiency of the sector.
The document points out that the Brazilian air sector has been registering consistent advances in environmental efficiency. Over the past 20 years, fuel consumption has grown an average of 2.4% per year in domestic aviation, while Revenue Tonne-Kilometer (RTK), which measures passengers and cargo transported per kilometer, has advanced at an average rate of 4.35% per year.
History The partnership between bodies in matters related to sustainability began in 2013, the year of launching the first edition of the Action Plan. Since then, there have been updates in 2016, 2019 and 2022, which perfected calculation methodologies and included new measures for reducing emissions. The goal is to contribute to OACIs efforts to reduce the impact of civil aviation and meet climate change goals, as well as systematizing the ongoing mitigation measures in Brazil.
