Biogas is an alternative that has stood out in recent years to change the urban mobility scenario. With the urgent need to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, renewable sources have become the best option for this change.
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.
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.
