Cardano Partners with Petrobras on Blockchain-Driven Sustainable Fuel Initiatives

Cardano has partnered with Brazilian energy giant Petrobras to develop blockchain applications for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and Petrobras' renewable Diesel R.

The project aims to improve traceability and reduce the risk of double counting in SAF, by linking fuel certificates with digital records of environmental benefits. Airlines, companies, and passengers will be able to claim those benefits separately from physical fuel, while Cardano tracks their origin.

Petrobras' Diesel R system would track data across production, transport, and use, creating a clearer fuel history and improving the auditability of Scope 3 emissions reporting.

Rafael Fraga, LATAM business development lead at the Cardano Foundation, stated that 'the energy transition will depend as much on trust as it does on new fuels.'
