Europe Has Set A Deadline For Its Fleet Of Trucks And Other Heavy Vehicles To Have Biogas As A Fuel Source

Investing in fuels that ensure lower greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) is essential for the decarbonization of the transport sector. There is a growing number of projects in Europe to reduce heavy fleet emissions by 90% by 2040, for example.

Biogas, an organic fuel that can reduce truck pollution by up to 36%, has attracted Brazilian attention as it can be made from waste from other industries (50% from the sugar-alcohol sector and 30% from animal protein).

Current Biogas Production in Brazil

According to the Brazilian Biogas Association (Abiogás), the country produces 400,000 m3 of biogas per day, with room for significant growth.

There are plans to reach a daily biogas production of 2.3 million m3 by the end of 2025 and 32 million m3 by the end of 2030.

Abiogás states that over 40 biogas plant construction projects are underway in Brazil and that these plants will come online in the next five years, bringing the country closer to its goal. There are also enough inputs in the domestic market to support increased production.

Jomed Transportes e Logística, the first Brazilian company to buy gas trucks from Scania in 2019, the owner Eduardo Garrido says: “Gas, regardless of its origin, is 15% cheaper than diesel.” This is the golden key.

A biogas or biogas plant is a facility that converts organic matter into biogas, and possibly into biogas, through a process called anaerobic digestion.

Video: Summary Of How A Biogas Or Biogas Plant Works

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

The Corolla from 2015 to 2019 depreciates so little that a 10-year-old model is still worth over 76 thousand reais, and owners treat this sedan as a safe investment thanks to its reputation for durability that no competitor has been able to match.

Mato Grosso do Sul excels in the sugar-energy sector: the state reaches a milestone of 22 operating mills and accelerates the production of clean energy in MS with a focus on sustainability.

Brazil accelerates decarbonization in the South: International forum in Foz do Iguaçu gathers leaders to discuss the advancement of biomethane in the energy matrix and the potential of “caipira pre-salt.”

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

Researchers discover a possible hydrogen deposit of up to 46 million tons beneath an ancient coal basin, and the volume could exceed half of the entire global production.

While the world looks at oil, the war with Iran is already disrupting helium supply from Qatar, affecting car and iPhone chips, threatening AI expansion, and putting pressure on aluminum packaging at the highest value in four years.

Global warming will expose a treasure hidden under the ice of Antarctica and may spark an international dispute over gold and valuable minerals.

The Argentine government celebrates the lowest poverty rate in 7 years, but experts warn that the methodology has changed, real wages have fallen, unemployment has risen, and the number of people on the streets of Buenos Aires has increased by 57% since Milei took office.

China bets on the Fishery-PV model and transforms fish farms into giant solar plants, covering ponds with panels that generate energy while utilizing the same space for large-scale aquaculture production.

Green hydrogen at home: Belgium launches new technology that makes solar panels produce fuel from the moisture in the air, which could boost the energy transition.

Revolution in public transport: Goiânia puts into circulation the first articulated buses powered by biomethane in Brazil and promises to drastically reduce pollution on the Anhanguera Corridor.

Sesc-BA bets on renewable energy with the support of EDP and drives the energy transition with a direct impact on cost reduction and the sustainability of its operations in Bahia.
