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.
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.
The latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that the mitigation measures needed to tackle climate change are urgent.
The IPCC is a UN climate advisory body and was created in 1988 by the United Nations Environment Program and the World Meteorological Organization. Its objective is to monitor and disseminate relevant research related to climate change.
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.
