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.

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.
