Decree No. 13.094 regulating the National Sustainable Aviation Fuel Programme, as provided for in Law No. 14.993 of 8 October 2024.

This Decree regulates Brazil’s National Sustainable Aviation Fuel Programme (ProBioQAV) established under Law No. 14.993 of 2024. Its principal objective is to promote the production, commercialisation and use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as a key instrument for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation sector and supporting Brazil’s energy transition. The decree establishes the regulatory framework for SAF certification, sustainability criteria, emissions accounting methodologies, financing mechanisms and incentives for investment in SAF production infrastructure. It also seeks to align national policies with international aviation decarbonisation standards, particularly those of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the CORSIA system, while preventing double counting of environmental benefits and ensuring environmental integrity.
The decree further creates a comprehensive market architecture for SAF through the introduction of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Certificate (CS-SAF), which separates the environmental attribute of SAF from the physical fuel using a Book & Claim system. It defines rules for certification, registration, trading, traceability and retirement of certificates, assigns regulatory responsibilities to the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) and the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), and establishes mechanisms for monitoring compliance with aviation emission-reduction mandates.
