Project of 27 New Biogas Plants Is Being Analyzed in Brazil Aiming for a Daily Production of 2.2 Million m3/Day by 2027.

The study to expand the use of biogas in the country occurred through the goal of state concessionaires to adopt a fuel swap for something more natural. The project was initiated by Abegás (Brazilian Association of Gas Distribution Companies) and Abiogás (Brazilian Biogas Association) aiming for a daily production of 2.2 million m3/day by 2027.

This national production will be divided into 3 different branches: approximately 59% of the product, which corresponds to 1.3 million m3/day, would be conceived by the sanitation sector, while the remaining 41% would be allocated 700 thousand m3/day in the sugar-energy sector and 200 thousand m3/day for the agro-industrial area.

New Biomethane Plants Will Be Installed in the States of SP, RS, RJ, PA, GO, MT, MS, and AM

The concentration of the plants is located in the state of São Paulo, with 15 projects, but it also expands to Rio Grande do Sul, Rio de Janeiro, Pará, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Amazonas.

Countries Like the USA Have Already Adopted Biomethane to Replace Diesel

Biogas is an alternative and natural energy source, which not only helps in environmental terms but also influences the financial system of the country. If Brazil chooses to replace diesel with biomethane, the savings would be between US$6 billion to US$7 billion per year in imports.

This substitution has already occurred in other countries, such as in Los Angeles (USA), achieving a 100% positive result since all urban buses use renewable gas.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

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.

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.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

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.

Egypt built an entire capital from scratch in the middle of the desert, with the tallest tower in Africa and the largest cathedral in the Middle East, to relieve Cairo of the burden of more than twenty million people.

The end of Japan? Population is disappearing, country loses more than 3 million inhabitants in just five years and birth rate falls for the tenth consecutive year, raising alarm about demographic collapse and lack of workers.

China surprises the world by inaugurating a new era: the country will create a “digital ID” for 28,000 humanoid robots from 100 manufacturers, while machines capable of cooking, doing laundry, and caring for the elderly begin free domestic testing in 2027.

The world’s smartest ring is now 40% smaller, measures blood pressure signals during sleep, monitors over 50 health metrics, has a battery life of up to 9 days, and features enhanced sensors for more accurate readings on any skin tone.

Forget the Toyota Hilux: with a 2.0 turbo engine and 475 hp, the new BYD Shark Performance tows 3,500 kg, accelerates in 5.5 seconds, and addresses historical criticism, but loses load capacity and surprises even medium pickup truck owners.
