What is the role of bioenergy in achieving net zero emissions? Bioenergy currently accounts for two-thirds of renewable energy consumption worldwide and 12% of final energy consumption.
On 09/29, the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) approved ANP Resolution No. 886, which amends ANP Resolution No. 685.
The production of biogas and biomethane is essential, since this transformation helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, in addition to its great environmental importance, this energy source is strategic and competitive.
Biomethane is a substitute for natural gas that can be generated from animal and plant sources. Understand about the approval of the resolution.
In 2022, even with increased energy demand in some countries, emissions from the energy sector are expected to decrease. The data is from the International Energy Agency (IEA) Electricity Market report, which points to a drop in overall global electricity demand of 2.4%. Thus, the values should pull emissions from the energy sector down, pointing to a decline of 0.5%.
More and more companies are investing in carbon credits and renewable energy. With the need to decarbonize the matrixes, governments and organizations are beginning to mobilize to reduce or eliminate their emissions of polluting gases.
The energy transition is the process of migrating from energy production based on fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, to a cleaner generation, investing in renewable sources, such as wind, solar and biomass generation.
Part of the large Brazilian companies have already understood the importance and relevance of ESG goals within organizations. Increasingly, environmental, social and governance issues become priorities with internal changes and even compensation programs for executives linked to the achievement of goals.
Biomethane production in Brazil has grown and gas is cited as a source for decarbonization in the transport sector. According to the survey carried out by Abiogás, there are 25 biomethane plants expected to start operating by 2027 with projects in which investment exceeds R$ 1 billion. With this, it is expected to reach 2.3 million m/³ day of produced volume.
The use of bioenergy has been increasing in Brazil and attracting investment thanks to its sustainable potential and for being a versatile source that can be used to replace traditional sources, such as oil, coal and natural gas.
