The investment will focus on initiatives that maximize social, economic and environmental benefits to local communities engaged in the development of feedstock that can be used to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). In 2018, the company provided an additional USD 1 million to the industry\u2019s efforts in Brazil.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrazil is a biofuel powerhouse and we believe this leadership can translate into benefits for small farmers and communities at the forefront of the multi-feedstock supply chain supporting biojet fuel production in the country,\u201d said Marc Allen, senior vice president of Boeing and president of Embraer Partnership &amp; Group Operations.<\/p>\n<p>Boeing will collaborate with long-time partners World Wide Fund for Nature and the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) to identify small communities of farmers in Brazil with the most promising potential to provide biomass for SAF production. The producers will then be certified using sustainability indicators that drive social benefits such as income generation, solid labor practices and food security. Groups of small farmers that produce sugarcane and maca\u00faba oil in southeast Brazil have already been certified by RSB in recent years, with Boeing\u2019s financial support.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, both WWF and RSB were stakeholders in the development of Flightpath to Aviation. This detailed report, led by Boeing, Embraer and the Sao Paulo State Research Foundation (FAPESP), outlined the unique opportunities and challenges of creating a cost-effective, bio-derived, and sustainable jet-fuel production and distribution industry in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>This latest investment builds on Boeing\u2019s long-standing commitment to supporting and developing Brazil\u2019s aviation and aerospace ecosystem through education and training programs, research and development initiatives and industry partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the past 10 years, Boeing has invested more than USD 2 million in community projects in Brazil,\u201d said Allen. \u201cBrazil is a leader in the global aerospace industry and Boeing is committed to working with our local partners to ensure it remains at the forefront of innovation for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Building the next generation of aviation and aerospace talent is a key focus for Boeing\u2019s community investment around the world. The company expects to make an announcement about further investment in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education in Brazil in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Boeing is the world\u2019s largest aerospace company and leading provider of commercial airplanes, defense, space and security systems, and global services. The company supports commercial and government customers in more than 150 countries. Boeing employs more than 150,000 people worldwide and leverages the talents of a global supplier base. Building on a legacy of aerospace leadership, Boeing continues to lead in technology and innovation, deliver for its customers and invest in its people and future growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boeing today announced a USD 1 million investment in Brazil\u2019s efforts to establish a sustainable aviation fuel industry.
