Do you know the term carbon footprint? Associated with greenhouse gas emissions, humanity's carbon footprint is the main cause of global warming and climate change.
In addition to reducing emissions, other actions, such as investments in renewable energy and capture and removal, need to take place to bring levels to zero.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the next three years will be decisive for achieving zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050.
Green bonds or green bonds are financial instruments that help compose climate finance with the aim of mitigating the damage caused to the environment due to the use of fossil fuels, deforestation and other anthropic actions.
How to use biogas for aviation and maritime transport? There is enormous potential for this gas to develop in Brazil and contribute to the production of renewable fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions...
The use of bioenergy has been drawing attention around the world, after all, it has great potential for sustainability, becoming an alternative to help in the energy transition. By investing in bioenergy, it is possible to replace conventional sources from fossil fuels, such as oil, coal and natural gas.
The carbon market emerged in 1997, at COP 3, in Japan. It was with the Kyoto Protocol that the first rules for regulated markets and the permission to create voluntary markets were instituted. Since then, countries have joined the market and created their own initiatives.
Bill 3865/2021 aims to encourage actions to encourage biogas and biomethane with the creation of the Incentive Program for the Production and Use of Biogas, Biomethane and Associated By-products (PIBB). The project was proposed by deputy Arnaldo Jardim, who is vice president of the Parliamentary Front for Renewable Energy. The proposal came a day after Brazil joined the Global Commitment on Methane, which provides for a 30% cut in emissions by 2030. Thus, the approval of the project would be one of the necessary steps for the country to be able to decarbonize the sectors and curb the global warming.
The potential for generating biogas and biomethane in Brazil is great, but it is still little explored. These gases can be produced from garbage, swine and cattle manure and sewage, but there is still little government investment in the area. The highlight goes to some private projects that have been standing out in some regions.
