波音和巴西航空工業(yè)公司將開(kāi)設(shè)一個(gè)聯(lián)合研究中心，推動(dòng)巴西可持續(xù)航空生物燃料業(yè)的發(fā)展。這兩家公司將聯(lián)合開(kāi)展生物燃料研究，并協(xié)調(diào)與巴西各大學(xué)及其他機(jī)構(gòu)開(kāi)展的研究活動(dòng)并為其提供資金支持。研究將重點(diǎn)關(guān)注能夠填補(bǔ)供應(yīng)鏈中有關(guān)巴西可持續(xù)航空生物燃料缺口的技術(shù)，例如原料生產(chǎn)和加工技術(shù)。這兩家公司開(kāi)設(shè)的生物燃料研究中心位于圣若澤多斯坎波斯科技園(Sao Jose dos Campos Technology Park)。
2013 年，波音、巴西航空工業(yè)公司和圣保羅國(guó)家研究基金會(huì) 完成了“Flightpath to Aviation Biofuels in Brazil”行動(dòng)計(jì)劃，該計(jì)劃發(fā)現(xiàn)了潛在生物燃料供應(yīng)鏈中存在的缺口。當(dāng)實(shí)現(xiàn)可持續(xù)生產(chǎn)時(shí)，相對(duì)于石油噴氣燃料，生物燃油料將在飛機(jī)的生命周期內(nèi)減少50%-80%的碳排放。
Boeing and Embraer S.A. announced plans to open a joint research center to advance a sustainable aviation biofuel industry in Brazil. The two companies will perform joint biofuel research, as well as fund and coordinate research with Brazilian universities and other institutions. The research will focus on technologies that address gaps in the supply chain for sustainable aviation biofuel in Brazil, such as feedstock production and processing technologies. The companies' biofuel research center will be located in Sao Jose dos Campos Technology Park. In 2013, Boeing, Embraer, and the Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa of the State of Sao Paulo(FAPESP) completed an action plan—Flightpath to Aviation Biofuels in Brazil—that identified gaps in a potential biofuel supply chain. When produced sustainably, aviation biofuel emits 50 to 80% lower carbon emissions through its life cycle than petroleum jet fuel.
