Brazil's ethanol sector is actively seeking new demand from the agriculture, aviation, and maritime industries to expand its market reach.
Brazil is the world’s largest producer of ethanol, primarily derived from sugarcane, and has long supplied fuel for vehicles and agricultural machinery.
Industry leaders are now targeting the aviation and maritime sectors, where biofuel can help reduce carbon emissions and meet stricter environmental regulations.
The move is part of a broader strategy to diversify ethanol’s market base and support Brazil’s commitment to sustainable energy, with government incentives and research partnerships driving the push.
Analysts say that expanding into aircraft and marine fuel could open new revenue streams and strengthen Brazil’s position as a global biofuel exporter.
