波音和巴西航空工業公司將開設一個聯合研究中心，推動巴西可持續航空生物燃料業的發展。這兩家公司將聯合開展生物燃料研究，并協調與巴西各大學及其他機構開展的研究活動并為其提供資金支持。研究將重點關注能夠填補供應鏈中有關巴西可持續航空生物燃料缺口的技術，例如原料生產和加工技術。這兩家公司開設的生物燃料研究中心位于圣若澤多斯坎波斯科技園(Sao Jose dos Campos Technology Park)。
2013 年，波音、巴西航空工業公司和圣保羅國家研究基金會 完成了“Flightpath to Aviation Biofuels in Brazil”行動計劃，該計劃發現了潛在生物燃料供應鏈中存在的缺口。當實現可持續生產時，相對于石油噴氣燃料，生物燃油料將在飛機的生命周期內減少50%-80%的碳排放。
Boeing and Embraer S.A. announced plans to open a joint research center to advance a sustainable aviation biofuel industry in Brazil. The two companies will perform joint biofuel research, as well as fund and coordinate research with Brazilian universities and other institutions. The research will focus on technologies that address gaps in the supply chain for sustainable aviation biofuel in Brazil, such as feedstock production and processing technologies. The companies' biofuel research center will be located in Sao Jose dos Campos Technology Park. In 2013, Boeing, Embraer, and the Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa of the State of Sao Paulo(FAPESP) completed an action plan—Flightpath to Aviation Biofuels in Brazil—that identified gaps in a potential biofuel supply chain. When produced sustainably, aviation biofuel emits 50 to 80% lower carbon emissions through its life cycle than petroleum jet fuel.
