Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to demonstrate and evaluate, through the survey of theoretical data, the practical applicability of biofuel competitiveness through the analysis of Di-Amyl Ether (DAE) to be used as aviation fuel. Therefore, in view of this, this research aims to analyze biofuel as a more sustainable option for energy sources in view of the reduction of pollutant emissions, with energy security, in addition to protecting and avoiding the degradation of the planet, as well as of natural resources. Therefore, the competitive analysis of biofuel portrays the potential for offering innovations to promote the sustainable development of the biofuel industry through the possibility of using inputs from ethanol. Thus, this paper demonstrates analyses of how to improve the competitiveness of aviation biofuels based on production and consumption, subsidize sustainable development and reduce the cost of production by reflecting on impacts on agribusiness.
