Every week, we can find a SAF supply or an offtake agreement between an airline and a producer or supplier in the news. This collaboration between airlines and producers is needed to invest in the production and decarbonization of the air transport industry. However, other factors like feedstock availability, logistics, regulation, or incentivisation play an important role in how fast decarbonization occurs.

To discuss these topics, we have Repsol, a global multi-energy provider working to drive the evolution towards a low-emissions energy model and has several renewable fuels and SAF projects in Spain.

Os custos logísticos representam uma parcela considerável na conta das distribuidoras de combustíveis, que dependem muito do modal rodoviário para movimentar seus produtos em todo o Brasil. Com o encarecimento do diesel B na bomba e grandes variações regionais de preços e de disponibilidade de produto, distribuidoras e transportadores enfrentam desafios constantes para mobilizar suas frotas de maneira eficiente. O mês de agosto foi particularmente agitado, com um aumento do custo do combustível e um cenário de restrição na oferta de diesel, que impulsionou o custo do frete rodoviário, principalmente na região Sudeste, onde a alta ultrapassou 20%, segundo um levantamento da Argus.
