Topsoe, a leading global provider of advanced technology and solutions for the energy transition, has signed an agreement with Petrobras, Brazil’s state-owned energy company. Under this agreement, Topsoe will deliver technology and services for a potential facility at Petrobras’ Boaventura Energy Complex, located in Itaboraí, in the state of Rio de Janeiro.The project will be based on Topsoe’s HydroFlex technology, proprietary equipment and catalysts to enable the production of SAF and renewable diesel. Once operational, the facility will process different types of vegetable oils, waste materials and animal fat as feedstocks. Once operational, the facility will be one of the largest SAF plants in Brazil. Yassir Ghiyati, chief commercial officer at Topsoe, said, “We are honored to support Petrobras on this exciting project.&nbsp;By combining Petrobras’ strong position in the Brazilian energy sector with Topsoe’s leading HydroFlex® technology, this project could contribute meaningfully to the supply of SAF and renewable diesel in Latin America. It represents an important step toward strengthening fuel diversification in one of the world’s most dynamic energy markets.” This agreement addresses the growing global demand for SAF. The International Air Transport Association projected that SAF production in 2025 would reach 1.9 million metric tons (Mt) nearly double the 1 Mt produced in 2024. Production is expected to grow to 2.4 mt in 2026.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
