The Plant is Located in Nova Iguaçu, but Seropédica, Home to the Largest Landfill in Latin America, Also Gets a Biogas Plant That Will Be Used in Industries and Vehicles.

The municipalities of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Seropédica and Nova Iguaçu, have received two new plants that will use biogas as fuel to power thermoelectric plants and in industries and vehicles.
The plants were inaugurated yesterday (07/04), belong to Gás Verde S.A, and will produce biogas and gas from landfill waste, which is much purer and less polluting than gas from petroleum.

Gás Verde S.A stated that biogas, once refined, is sold as fuel in industries and vehicles, while the gas extracted from waste will supply the company’s thermal plant.

Seropédica Landfill

Both plants were installed in the state of Rio de Janeiro, and one of them is located in the municipality of Seropédica, where the largest landfill in Latin America is situated.
The landfill receives approximately 10,000 tons of waste per day from other municipalities in the state, and the new plant will have the capacity to produce 200,000 cubic meters daily.

To give an idea, this volume is enough to fill the tanks of 13,000 vehicles, and when fully operational, the unit will produce 73 million cubic meters of renewable natural gas (GNR) per year.

Nova Iguaçu Landfill

The other plant was installed in Nova Iguaçu, a municipality in the lowlands of the state of Rio de Janeiro, whose landfill is managed by Foxx Haztec.
The gas is purchased by Gás Verde and is used to fuel a thermoelectric plant owned by it that utilizes 9,500 cubic meters of biogas per hour and produces 150,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy annually, which meets the consumption of 70,000 households.

Gás Verde is very proud of the startup of the two new plants, which will produce cleaner energy compared to those powered by coal, oil, and natural gas.
In addition to contributing to the environment by reducing greenhouse gases, the plants will also serve as an additional source of income for the landfills.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

The largest precious metals mine under construction in the world is situated on a layer of ore 25 times thicker than common mines in South Africa, and has just connected a third shaft that will quintuple the extraction of platinum, palladium, and gold.
