Located in Santana do Paraíso in Minas Gerais, the biogas plant was installed by ENC Energy Brazil and will generate 1MW

In Santana do Paraíso, a municipality located in the interior of Minas Gerais, a biogas plant has been inaugurated that generates energy extracted from waste. ENC Energy Brazil was responsible for the installation of the plant, which had an investment of R$ 6 million and will generate 1MW of energy. The plant is located at the CTR Vale do Aço landfill.

The responsible company, ENC, said that the biogas produced by the decomposition of organic waste generates energy. Biogas is a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide gas, produced by the decomposition of organic waste in the absence of oxygen. According to the company, the process of converting gas into energy also reduces the odor of nearby methane.

In addition to these benefits, the combustion and energy generation from biogas also generate carbon credits that can be sold to companies committed to environmental protection and interested in reducing their carbon emissions. ENC reported that “Turning this gas into energy is a great benefit for the environment, as methane has an impact 25 times greater on global warming than the carbon dioxide burned in the process of generating electric energy.”

The plant is already in operation, and its commercial management will be handled by Órigo, a partner of ENC Energy in other projects, focusing on serving small consumers at the base of the social pyramid. Igor Urasaki, Commercial Director of ENC Energy Brazil, says that “We are already investing in the Distributed Generation market throughout the country, and now it is a pleasure to start operations in Minas Gerais, helping consumers gain access to clean energy.”

ENC Energy’s experience in this mode of energy generation shows that Brazil has great potential to expand biogas technology. The company’s Financial Director, Carla Bernardes, emphasizes that “Renewable sources are already an important slice of the Brazilian energy matrix. The trend is that this will grow, as the way waste is stored in Brazil allows biogas to be widely explored. In other words, in addition to the environmental benefits, the positive social impact that this chain generates is enormous.”
