Biomethane enters a new phase in Brazil and advances as a decarbonization tool for the energy sector

Brazil’s biomethane industry is entering a decisive phase in 2026. The introduction of a mandatory target for the natural gas market, the regulation of Biomethane Certificates of Guarantee of Origin, and the updating of quality standards by the ANP are beginning to consolidate a renewable energy source historically associated with waste recovery as a structured instrument of Brazil’s national energy and climate policy.

Biometano, carbono e capacidade: os três movimentos que redefiniram o setor de energia no Brasil em 2026

Biomethane, carbon, and capacity: the three movements that redefined Brazil’s energy sector in 2026

Between March and May 2026, the Brazilian energy sector experienced its densest regulatory quarter in years. The CNPE set the target for the biomethane mandate and the ANP completed the regulation of the certificate of origin (CGOB). The country held the largest capacity reserve auction in its history, contracting 19 GW with investments of R$64.5 billion. And the Ministry of Finance presented the first official proposal for sectoral coverage of the regulated carbon market (SBCE), with an inclusion schedule for energy and waste. Three decisions that, read together, form the new regulatory floor for the energy transition in Brazil, with a public consultation on the carbon market scheduled for July and a final rule expected by December.

Biometano no volante: por que o transporte pesado virou o novo campo de batalha da descarbonização no Brasil

Biomethane Behind the Wheel: Why Heavy-Duty Transport Has Become the New Battleground for Decarbonization in Brazil

In 2026, Brazil accelerated the adoption of biomethane as a fuel for heavy trucks and buses. Automakers, waste managers and large consumer goods companies are signing long-term contracts, building their own supply infrastructure and producing fuel from the waste they themselves generate. For investors, the movement signals the formation of a market with structured demand, growing regulatory support and potential for expansion along the entire value chain, from the biomethane plant to the highway station.
