eB Capital Announces Investment in Biological Solutions Platform for Biogas Production

eB Capital, an alternative investment manager, revealed its new energy transition thesis and announced a investment of R$ 600 million in a biosolutions platform. The company’s partnership with Sebigás Cótica aims to produce biogas, carbon dioxide, and fertilizers from agro-industrial waste.

This initiative is part of the fund dedicated to sustainable infrastructure by eB Capital, led by partners Eduardo Sirotsky Melzer, Luciana Antonini Ribeiro, and Pedro Parente. The project, called Bioo, will be a biogas and organic waste treatment platform that will produce biogas and other products, with oversight from eB Capital and operations managed by Sebigás Cótica.

Half of the total investment of R$ 600 million will come from the company’s own capital, while the other R$ 300 million is being raised from financial institutions and institutional funds. The first plant of the platform will be completed with the own resources, and the structuring and construction of additional units will be carried out with the financing obtained.

eB Capital will play an active role in building the platform in partnership with Sebigás Cótica, aiming to ensure its scalability and expansion. Pedro Parente highlights that the Energy Transition market in Brazil represents over R$ 130 billion in investments for the next five years. The partnership with Sebigás Cótica aligns with eB Capital’s investment strategy in businesses with growth potential and positive societal impact.

What is Biogas?

Biogas is a type of renewable gas produced from the decomposition of organic waste, such as food scraps, agro-industrial waste, and sewage. It is obtained through the process of anaerobic digestion, in which microorganisms break down organic matter and produce methane, which can be purified and used as a clean and sustainable energy source.

Biogas has properties similar to fossil natural gas and can be directly injected into the natural gas grid, used as a vehicle fuel or as an alternative to fossil fuels in industrial processes. Its production contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, utilizing organic waste, and promoting the circular economy.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.
