Teaching videos on Alternative Fuels for Aviation in Brazil

In eleven Mini-Classes, ProQR – Alternative Fuels without Climate Impacts jointly with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) previewed the teaching material “Alternative Fuels for Aviation in Brazil” in December 2021. The material was reviewed by leading Brazilian technicians and academics.

The didactic material “Alternative Fuels for Aviation in Brazil” consists of 12 modules in English that discuss the production chain of alternative aviation fuels and address the potential for insertion of this technology in the Brazilian energy scenario. The material was designed as a tool to support the study, teaching and research on the subject in academic institutions in Brazil and, therefore, seeks to present the covered aspects in a detailed and didactic manner.
