São Paulo, Brazil – [24/02/2026] – PETROBRAS has been confirmed as Lead Sponsor of the upcoming SAF LATAM Congress in São Paulo, reinforcing its strategic focus on energy transition pathways and its growing role in the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

PETROBRAS, a publicly traded and integrated energy company, combines its recognized expertise across the oil, natural gas, and energy value chain with a growing portfolio of initiatives focused on accelerating the energy transition. While maintaining world‑class capabilities in exploration and production developed over decades in Brazil’s deep and ultra‑deep‑water basins, the company is increasingly directing investment toward lower‑carbon solutions, including biofuels, advanced refining technologies, and efficiency improvements that reduce emissions across its operations.

As global aviation accelerates decarbonisation efforts, SAF has emerged as a critical lever for emissions reduction. Brazil’s combination of established biofuel capabilities, feedstock availability, industrial infrastructure, and technical expertise positions the country as a strategic hub for SAF production. PETROBRAS’ involvement as Lead Sponsor reflects its commitment to developing solutions with a reduced carbon footprint, while supporting sustainable development in an energy system in transition.

Through its participation, PETROBRAS will engage directly with senior executives from airlines, fuel producers, investors, technology providers, financial institutions, and policymakers to advance dialogue around SAF production scale-up, infrastructure readiness, financing frameworks, and regional supply chain integration.

The SAF LATAM Congress will convene 300 senior-level delegates and 100 speakers from across Latin America, Europe, and North America, creating a high-level B2B platform focused on accelerating project development, investment mobilisation, and cross-border collaboration in the SAF market.

“PETROBRAS’ leadership role reflects the increasing alignment between established energy infrastructure and the next phase of sustainable fuel production in Latin America,” said Harry Marples, Event Director for Sustainable Aviation Futures LATAM Congress. “Their expertise across the value chain is critical to enabling scalable, commercially viable SAF deployment in the region.”

“A just energy transition is a central commitment for Petrobras and expanding the supply of lower‑carbon‑intensity fuels — including SAF — is an essential part of this journey. We are directing significant investments toward biofuels, refining infrastructure, and new technologies to support the decarbonization of the aviation sector, always balancing operational efficiency, competitiveness, and emissions reduction. Participating in the SAF LATAM Congress reinforces our commitment to working side by side with industry partners to accelerate solutions that generate value for society and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.”, states Claudio Schlosser, Petrobras' Logistics, Marketing, and Markets director.

PETROBRAS’ participation underscores the importance of integrated energy players in enabling aviation decarbonisation, combining technical capability, infrastructure strength, and financial scale to support the transition toward lower-carbon fuels.
