ABSTRACT: Airlines and the aviation industry are committed to emission reduction
targets. Biokerosene was pointed out as one of the key elements to achieving this goal. The use of
oilseeds in the production of biokerosene is interesting due to the great
Brazilian experience in the production of biofuels from this raw material. In
view of this scenario, this dissertation has as its main objective the
definition of the place of implantation of a biorefinery in Brazilian territory
that has aviation biokerosene as its main product. For this, data on supply and
demand for fossil aviation kerosene in Brazilian regions were collected, an
extensive review was carried out in scientific articles on the oleaginous raw
materials used for the production of this biofuel, and logistical parameters were selected and used as
criteria for that selection. The oilseeds selected for the production of
biofuel were macaúba and soybean and the state was chosen for the implementation of the biorefinery was
Goiás. Based on logistical parameters, the city of Formosa (GO) was selected to
host the biorefinery. The soybean crushers located in Luziania, Anápolis,
Ipameri, and
Itumbiara were chosen as suppliers of soybean oil and the city of Formosa (GO)
as the headquarters for the commercial planting of macaúba. The destination of
this fuel will be Petrobrás Distribuidora S.A., an aviation fuel distributor
authorized by the ANP based in the city of Brasília (DF).
