Description

Description

Acelen Renováveis is constructing one of Latin America's first major sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) biorefineries. The biorefinery will be built on an established industrial site in Bahia, northeast Brazil, with a projected output of 20,000 barrels of SAF and HVO per day. The facility is expected to generate up to 3,600 direct and indirect jobs and will cultivate around 1,440 square kilometres of degraded land, with 20% allocated to partnerships with family farms and small producers. The project aims to support the decarbonisation of air transport and position Brazil as a significant market in sustainable fuels.
