Sebigas has announced that its Brazilian division, Sebigas Do Brasil, has been awarded a contract to construct a 17.5 MW biogas plant in southern Brazil. The company will partner with Cótica, a local engineering and construction firm, to undertake the project.
The biogas plant will be located in Guariba, São Paulo, Brazil, near Raízen’s second largest ethanol and sugar mill. The mill processes more than 5 million tons of sugarcane annually and generates high volumes of vinasse coproduct, which the new biogas plant will take in as feedstock.
The project will receive approximately 9,200 cubic meters of vinasse each day, producing approximately 187,000 normal cubic meters of biogas. The resulting biogas will be used to produce 17.5 MW of electricity, which will be sold to the national grid. Digested vinasse will be used as fertilizers.
