Thinking About Sustainability MDC in Partnership with Solví Essencis Environmental Joined Forces Applying an Investment of R$ 40 Million to Produce Biometane Through the Operations of Solví in Caieiras (SP)

With the aim of expanding the supply of biofuel in the state of SP, MDC, a company that produces biometane in Brazil, and Solví Essencis Environmental, a company that operates landfills in the country, reached an agreement on Monday morning (26) that provides for an investment of R$ 40 million in a biometane generation plant from Solví’s operations in Caieiras (SP).

More Than 60 Thousand m³/Day at the Biometane Plant in SP

The partnership between MDC and Solví Essencis Environmental is aimed at the enormous demand from industrial consumers for renewable energy and the decarbonization goals of the private sector and governments around the world.

The investment in SP could produce 60 thousand m³ of biometane per day and, starting in 2023, could reach a capacity of 100 thousand m³ per day. The supply from MDC and Solví Essencis Environmental will be available to consumers connected to the gas pipelines in SP, especially for large clients looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

This month, Wheaton, one of the largest glass packaging manufacturers, partnered with ZEG to replace natural gas with biometane in its operations.

Currently, the company operates four continuous furnaces capable of producing 1 billion glass bottles per year, equivalent to 370 tons of glass per day. According to Wheaton’s commercial director, Renato Massara, 10% of the natural gas used for glass production in SP will be replaced by biometane, with the support of ZEG.

This partnership will make Wheaton the first industry in the sector to utilize this renewable source in the world. Furthermore, according to Massara, although glass packaging is 100% renewable, natural gas is still used. Therefore, by using biometane to replace the old gas, the glass becomes even more sustainable for the environment.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

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.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

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.

The new Chevrolet SUV arrives in May with a turbo engine, ADAS technology, and a new brand look; find out everything about the Chevrolet Sonic.

Brazil participates with its own satellite in a BRICS space network that has already mapped millions of square kilometers, and now the bloc wants to go further with new missions, radar for the Amazon, and even flights to the Moon.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
