In recent years, the use of hydrogen as an energy source has become an agenda. After all, it is considered the fuel of the future, as it is a clean and renewable option.
As there is no exclusive regulation for biogas and biomethane, historically, the Brazilian regulations that govern these markets have more connection with other fuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel than with natural gas. This occurred because the laws that dealt with gas dealt only with natural gas of fossil origin, excluding other sources.
It is not new that people use biogas as a source of energy. If the most common form of use is as fuel for power generation or in vehicles, biogas can also be sustainable and contribute to agriculture.
The 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference, better known as the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties, or COP 27, took place from November 6 to 18, 2022, in Egypt. During the 12-day conference, country representatives and civil society discussed ways to face and adapt to climate change.
Biomethane is a substitute for natural gas that can be generated from animal and plant sources. Understand about the approval of the resolution.
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.
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.
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.
The circular economy is a system developed to enable economics and environmental responsibility. Thus, the system proposes a review of the usual means of production and consumption.
How does decarbonization relate to biogas? Decarbonization is the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions through the use of energy sources with low carbon content or a source with the least possible emissions. Thus, renewable gases are called upon to play an important role in the decarbonization of the economy.
