Copa Energia and Aggreko, from the brands Copagaz and Liquigás, Launched a Research Project This Quarter for Energy Generation Using Liquefied Petroleum Gas.

The research on energy generation using liquefied petroleum gas was conducted in collaboration with the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS). The National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Biofuels (ANP) validated the project to initiate the studies. Copa Energia will install an LPG plant connected to an 85 kW generator at UFMS. The device was developed by Aggreko.

The study will assess the energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness of engine-generator sets, both off-grid (not connected to the grid) and grid-connected (connected to the distribution network). The equipment will operate during peak hours, and the energy will be supplied to the University.

The objective of the study on energy generation using liquefied petroleum gas is to provide technical and scientific data to facilitate the opening of the market for new uses of LPG in Brazil. — Changing these regulations is a long-standing demand from distributors. They, represented by Sindigás, argue that the restrictions were imposed in 1991 due to fears of product shortages during the Gulf War. However, they contend that the situation has changed.

Law Criminalizes Unauthorized Use of Gas in Certain Situations

Law 8.176/1991 criminalizes the unauthorized use of liquefied petroleum gas for heating engines, saunas, boilers, and pools, or for automotive purposes as a crime against the economic order. In 2016, the ANP decided to relax the use of fuel for forklifts and industrial cleaning equipment. Brazil still imports LPG, but the Energy Research Company (EPE) estimates that the country could become self-sufficient early next decade with the growth of production at natural gas processing units (UPGN).

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Engine without traditional cylinder head could change the future of hybrids: Aramco creates DHE technology that simplifies mechanics, promises to reduce consumption by up to 25%, and challenges decades of evolution in combustion engines.
