Carambeí, Brazil, 1 July 2024
Carambei, Brazil – 1 July 2024 – ARCHEA, a leading provider of bioenergy plants, is building a new biogas plant in Carambei, Brazil.
The plant will process cattle slurry into biogas, helping to reduce methane emissions. The biogas will be used to generate electricity and can supply power to 400 households. The resulting digestate serves as a valuable fertiliser for agriculture.
Sustainable energy production from cattle slurry
The new biogas plant in Carambei is an important contribution to sustainable energy production in Brazil. Cattle slurry is a waste product of livestock farming that emits methane, a potent greenhouse gas. By digesting the slurry in the biogas plant, the methane is captured and converted into biogas, which can be used to generate electricity. This not only protects the environment but also produces valuable energy.
Supplying electricity to 400 households
The biogas plant in Carambei has a capacity of 1 megawatt and can supply electricity to approximately 400 households. The plant will help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and advance the energy transition in Brazil.
Valuable fertiliser for agriculture
In addition to biogas, the digestion of cattle slurry also produces digestate. This digestate is a valuable fertiliser for agriculture and can help to improve soil fertility and increase crop yields.
