Brazil's Metano Zero ProgramThe Brazilian government has launched the program Metano Zero (“Zero Methane”), aimed at stimulating the transformation of the greenhouse emission gas into biofuel with the financial support of state-run banks. “The federal government regulated the National Policy on Solid Waste... now we’re building the program for methane. Brazil has the capacity to generate bio-methane from both urban waste [landfills] and rural waste—especially from poultry, pork, sugar, and alcohol,” Brazil's biomethane market value could reach USD 15 billion by 2040, taking advantage of waste and by-products from five main industries: sugarcane, cattle ranching, dairy farming, pork raising, as well as urban waste and sewage. Biomethane is produced via anaerobic digestion and can be used in four main applications: heating or electricity for self-consumption, electricity for sale to the grid, renewable natural gas for sale, and renewable natural gas for transportation
Biomethane can be used to generate heat or electricity for self-consumption and/or sale (via power purchase agreements or PPAs) and sold as renewable natural gas (RNG) replacing natural gas in industrial applications and transportation markets.
Currently, we estimate that the viable feedstock in Brazil could supply approximately 50% of the total Brazilian demand for natural gas (Exhibit 7).
This potential is largely untapped. Today, Brazil uses only 10% of its total biomethane potential. Most of the current usage comes from urban sewage and waste directed toward electricity production. While Brazil almost entirely converts its urban waste and sewage to biomethane, it barely uses its sugar cane and animal waste resources, which account for 90% of the total potential
Looks to me that GRN could be onto something by focusing on Brazil...... https://www.mckinsey.com/br/en/our-insights/all-insights/the-green-hidden-gem-brazils-opportunity-to-become-a-sustainability-powerhouse
