The Energy Potential of Biogas

WATCH THE RECORDING OF THE EVENT ON OUR YouTube channel

Biogas is a fuel obtained by the degradation of organic matter (food, animals or production processes).

In the sugar-energy sector there are some sources for the production of biogas, such as vinasse and filter cake, an effluent and a by-product, respectively, from the production of sugar and alcohol

These materials have proven importance in the generation of biogas, allowing sugarcane plants to increase the potential for generating electricity with the same planted area, optimize the use of these products, improve the performance in fertigation and seek new levels of sustainability and circular economy.

Furthermore, through a new approach and a treatment of biogas to obtain biomethane, it can be used in fuel cells as a very promising and efficient option for the production of energy from renewable sources.

In this chat we will receive:
