Brazil is undergoing rapid expansion in the production of biomethane, a renewable fuel derived from the decomposition of organic waste.
Brazil, which has one of the cleanest energy matrices among the G20 countries, will need to invest approximately US$6 trillion — about R$33.6 trillion — by 2050 to reach net-zero carbon emissions.
Urban solid waste management (USW) is an increasing challenge in Brazil, especially with population growth and accelerated urbanization. An effective solution to mitigate environmental impacts while simultaneously generating energy is waste-to-energy (WTE) recovery. However, Brazil is significantly behind in adopting this technology, particularly when compared to developed countries.
Decarbonizing the energy matrix has become a global priority in the fight against climate change. But how can we decarbonize efficiently and sustainably?
Climate change is evidently impacting the frequency and intensity of extreme events, such as heatwaves, severe storms, and floods. These phenomena result from global warming, driven by the increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) has announced the implementation of an auction in June 2025 to contract energy aimed at ensuring the stability of the national electrical system during periods of highest consumption.
Brazil, recognized for its diversified energy matrix, is intensifying investments in biomethane, a renewable biofuel produced from organic waste. This initiative aims to strengthen the sustainable economy and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, aligning with global decarbonization goals.
Biomethane, derived from biogas, emerges as a crucial alternative for Brazil's energy transition, contributing to the decarbonization of the energy matrix and corporate sustainability.
In the next ten years, Brazil is expected to experience significant growth in biofuel supply, according to studies recently released by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and the Energy Research Company (EPE).
Biomass has gained prominence as a vital renewable energy source in Brazil, significantly contributing to the diversification of the country's energy matrix. In 2023, Brazil achieved a significant milestone in energy generation from biomass
