Biogas and biomethane enter 2026 with a surge in supply, a new regulatory framework, and major projects in the spotlight in Brazil
The IEA report highlights that global biogas and biomethane production volumes could rise by 22 percent by 2030 compared to 2025, reflecting a review of expectations and a more favorable scenario for investments in renewable energy. The analysis includes data that reveals variations in the speed of growth between regions, with emphasis on Europe, North America and developing markets in Asia and Latin America.
In December 2025, the Paris Agreement marked a decade as the cornerstone of global climate governance. Signed by 195 countries at COP21, the agreement established the commitment to limit the increase in average global temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels, while pursuing efforts to cap warming at 1.5 °C. Ten years on, the question that arises is both direct and strategic: in practical terms, what are the impacts of these targets on the energy sector and on investment decisions?
As global leaders debate the direction of decarbonization, Brazil emerges as a key player in the energy revolution driven by the circular economy and biomethane. In the wake of COP30, held in Belém, the country intensifies its efforts to align sustainability, social inclusion and technological innovation. The November 2025 landscape establishes biomethane and eco-parks as […]
Brazil is experiencing one of the most decisive moments in its energy history. With an electricity mix already largely renewable—about 88% of generation coming from clean sources, according to data from the Energy Research Company (EPE)—the country now faces a new challenge: financing the sustainable expansion of its infrastructure, diversifying its energy matrix, and ensuring energy security amid the global transition to a low-carbon economy.
Across the vast plains of agribusiness, in the landfills surrounding our major cities, and within sewage treatment plants, a silent energy revolution is underway. Brazil — a natural giant — is finally awakening to the immense potential of biogas and its noble derivative, biomethane.
Brazil finds itself in a unique—and frankly enviable—position in the global energy landscape. While the world’s largest economies struggle to decarbonize their energy mix, the country already boasts a consolidated leadership, with an electricity system powered by more than 80% renewable sources.
The year 2025 emerges as a critical milestone in the fight against climate change. Recent reports from organizations such as the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the United Nations (UN), and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) converge on a clear message: the window of opportunity to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of global warming is rapidly closing.
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.
