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.
Investment and Strategic Partnerships for Building the Biogas Production Platform
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.

China surprised the world by transforming mountains into a 3.6 GW “water battery” with 12 reversible 300 MW turbines, pumping water uphill when there is surplus energy and returning electricity to the grid when wind and sun disappear.

For the first time in history, 900 quilombola and riverine families in Marajó will have electricity — teams take solar panels by boat to communities without roads.

In 80 years building 22 thousand dams, Brazil impacted more than 4 million people — and the law approved in 2024 to protect those affected has not yet come into effect.

China is building 5 cascade dams for $167 billion in Tibet — and the Motuo Project will have 70 GW of capacity, three times more than the world’s current largest power plant.
The expectation is that the entire amount will be allocated by the end of 2025, with the first unit of the platform expected to be operational by the end of next year, in the city of Triunfo, Rio Grande do Sul. This plant already has a contract with the distributor Sulgás for biogas supply directly into the company’s gas pipeline.
Energy Transition Market Represents Over R$ 130 Billion in Investments for the Next Five Years
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.
