The first commercial-scale biogas factory in the world, located in Guariba, Sao Paulo state, and which will utilize byproducts from sugarcane-based ethanol production, was initiated by Brazil's president Jair Bolsonaro this Friday.
Brazilian government motives for agribusinesses in the country, along with the factory that will output biogas from the waste leftover from sugarcane-based ethanol production, were discussed by the president in his speech.
Biogas, which will provide the electrical grid by means of a distributed power generation model, will be utilized by the factory that belongs to the company Raizen with investment from Brazilian company Cosan and Anglo-Dutch company Shell.
The factory has an installed potential of 21 megawatts and an ability to produce 138,000 megawatt-hours per year and provide 62,000 homes, according to the Brazilian Minister of Mines and Energy Bento Albuquerque.
