In a move reflecting the accelerating transition toward clean energy in the aviation sector, Petrobras has announced the production and sale of the first batch of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) made from globally certified soybean oil. The fuel was produced in compliance with international CORSIA standards, ensuring low indirect land-use change (ILUC) risk. This milestone was achieved in collaboration with Bunge to secure the necessary raw materials to meet stringent environmental certification requirements.

Sign InThis initiative positions Petrobras competitively against energy majors like Shell and TotalEnergies, which are also racing to expand their biofuel capacities. Per market data, global demand for SAF is projected to grow significantly as airlines strive to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Utilizing CORSIA-certified soybean oil is a strategic advantage for Brazil as the world's largest soybean producer, providing Petrobras with a potential feedstock cost advantage over its international peers.
Regarding market performance, PBR stock stood at $17.05 (close June 16, 2026), after reaching an intraday high of $17.18. Investors are closely watching the upcoming WASDE report on June 11, 2026, for its impact on soybean prices, alongside monitoring Brazilian monetary policy following the annual inflation data which reached 4.72% as of June 12, 2026.
