As usinas a biogás transformam resíduos orgânicos em energia, ajudando a manter o sistema elétrico mais forte e sustentável. Esse tipo de energia limpa também ajuda o Brasil a reduzir a poluição e aproveitar melhor o lixo que produz.

Bill Aims to Include Biogas Plants in the Electric Capacity Reserve, with Potential to Benefit the Energy Sector and National Sustainability

The Brazilian Association of Waste Energy (ABREN) proposed a bill to allow the hiring of biogas plants as part of the electric capacity reserve of the power system. The measure could represent an important step for Brazil’s energy security and the sustainable use of organic waste.

Biogas as Energy Backup: Sustainable and Strategic Solution

The bill coordinated by ABREN aims to allow biogas plants to be hired directly by the federal government as providers of reserve electric energy. This means that these plants could be activated during peak demand times or in critical supply situations, reinforcing the stability of the national power system. The initiative would also open up space for new investments in the sector, especially in regions with strong agricultural production and usable urban waste as energy feedstock.

According to ABREN, the potential of biogas plants in Brazil is still underutilized, despite the country having one of the largest waste-to-energy generation capacities in the world. The use of this type of clean and renewable source can significantly help reduce dependence on fossil and carbon-emitting sources while promoting regional development and job creation in the bioenergy sector.

Biogas at the Center of Brazil’s Energy Transition

In addition to reinforcing the energy matrix with a clean and constant source, biogas plants play a fundamental role in the country’s decarbonization policy. Generation from biogas reduces greenhouse gas emissions and transforms problematic waste, such as manure, food scraps, and urban waste, into electricity and fertilizer. According to Eixos, ABREN’s proposal could accelerate the adoption of this technology, which has proven effective in countries like Germany, Sweden, and Japan.

Infrastructure and Incentives: What’s Missing for Biogas Plants to Take Off?

Despite the enormous potential, the expansion of biogas plants in Brazil still faces structural challenges. Among the main obstacles are the lack of specific financing lines, bureaucratic hurdles for connecting to the power grid, and the absence of more robust public policies. Experts point out that the approval of the bill proposed by ABREN may be the necessary push to unlock investments and create a more competitive market, contributing to energy security, sustainability, and diversification of the Brazilian matrix.
