This week The SAF Podcast ventures to the land of salsa dancing, ethanol production, rainforests and the Andes as Oscar is delighted to be joined to Jose Fernandes, President - Latin America, Honeywell.

Jose explains to us the different verticals Honeywell operates in, especially Honeywell UOP and their SAF technology licensing business, and how they are working to their target of reaching net zero operations by 2035. We discuss the projects they are currently involved in in the Latin America region alongside biofuel producer and Oil and Gas giant, Petrobras.

We also dive into what makes Latin America such a great place to produce SAF, with a rich agricultural landscape generating an abundance of potential feedstock and already mature HVO and Ethanol markets to use as a platform. With strong ties to the US and other international investment markets, Jose is confident that alongside the available domestic investment and incoming policy certainty that is currently being finalised, the financial and policy landscape are fast making Latin America an attractive proposition for SAF production. We also touch on the role of Oil and Gas and the critical relationship between licensors and Oil & Gas to drive global production.

We also discuss Honeywell's recently announced Unicracking technology working with Biomass and how they can claim for it to have a 3-5% higher yield whilst also reducing costs.

This is a great insight into a world leading SAF technology licensor who are at the heart of global production with 50 licenses sold and an expert insight into why Latin America could become the soul of the industry,
