A viabilidade do uso de biocombustíveis na aviação comercial

Abstract

This article presents a scenario of the use of fossil fuels in commercial aviation and its environmental impacts. It also presents the evolution and use of sustainable technologies to mitigate the damage caused to nature by burning this oil derivative. In today's globalized world, transport plays a fundamental role in the movement of people and wealth. Despite the airline's small contribution to pollutant emissions, the segment has set ambitious targets to become more sustainable and has sought to reduce the impacts of global aviation on global warming. The growing concern with the environment has driven the development of new energy sources around the globe in order to reduce the impacts caused by human evolution. The use of aviation biofuels presents itself as a contribution of the air modal to reduce emissions. of pollutants in the atmosphere. Brazil stands out in the aeronautical biofuel scenario for its pioneering spirit and for its production capacity of inputs necessary for biofuel production worldwide. The current small demand stands as an obstacle to the development and implementation of the most sustainable practices. Finally, based on the information gathered, I present a point of view on the feasibility of using biofuels in commercial aviation.
