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.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Two helicopters, 41 people, and over 38 tons of bait were mobilized on a remote Pacific atoll to eliminate rats; five years later, native trees grew by 5,000%, seabirds gained habitat, and the rainforest began to regenerate.

Between Egypt and Sudan, Bir Tawil is no man’s land that neither country wants on paper, but in practice has gold mining, nomadic tribes, and even fake “kings.”

Swimming champion Shavarsh Karapetyan dove about 40 times into a frozen lake in Armenia to rescue a sunken bus, saved 20 lives, and lost his career because of it.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

New portable bathroom is ready in 90 seconds, measures 2.18 meters, fits in the car when closed, and offers privacy for showering and changing clothes.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

US$ 7 billion, green hydrogen, and steel with up to 95% less CO₂: the first green steel plant on the planet emerges in Sweden and targets Brazil as the next chapter

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.
