The Hybrid Event Will Bring Together Industry Companies, Energy Agencies, and Universities to Discuss the Challenges, Perspectives, and Opportunities of Renewable Fuels in the LPG Segment

To leverage the importance of discussing the energy transition in the context of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Supergasbras and SHV Energy, the world leader in LPG distribution, will hold the Sustainability That Moves the World – 2nd Seminar on Sustainable Combustible Gases on October 10 and 11 at the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro.

At this event, representatives from industry companies, energy agencies, and universities will discuss the challenges, perspectives, and opportunities to stimulate the development of renewable liquefied gases.

With Online Transmission Starting at 9 AM (10/10) and 10 AM (11/10), the Seminar Will Feature Five Main Themes:

  • Challenges and Opportunities in Liquefied Gaseous Biofuels;
  • Companies’ Initiatives for a More Sustainable Portfolio;
  • The Journey of Renewable Fuels in Companies: From Development to Commercialization;
  • Advancements in R&D for New and Optimized Production Processes of Renewable Fuels;
  • Funding and Collaboration Opportunities Between Government, Academia, and Industry for Participants Across All Value Chains of Raw Material, Conversion, and Distribution.

“In 2021, Supergasbras launched the Sustainable Fuels Program to complement the company’s efforts in this journey. Our main goal is to advance, along with partners, in the development of sustainable fuels and their commercialization for the off-grid segment,” says the president of Supergasbras, Júlio Cardoso. “LPG is already an efficient, cleaner fuel gas with low carbon emissions. But we want more. SHV Energy’s goal is to commercialize renewable and sustainable alternatives by 2040 at the same volume of fossil fuel distributed in 2015 by the Group. And we are together on this path,” he adds.

In 2021, pioneering in Brazil, Supergasbras began discussing the topic in the LPG segment by holding the first edition of the seminar. At the time, the debates were enhanced by a Q&A session with over 170 participants from around the world who attended the online event.

“Our main objective for the meeting in 2022 is to continue this journey and drive the development of biofuels with a particular focus on renewable liquefied gases, such as biopropane, biobutane (renewable versions of LPG), biomethane, and renewable dimethyl ether (rDME),” explains Priscila Maziero, Manager of Biofuels Development at Supergasbras.
