Rio de Janeiro, 19 January, 2010
In Brazil, Petroleo Brasileiro (Petrobras) has signed an agreement with Gas Verde S.A. to supply 200,000 m3 of biogas per day.
Replacing natural gas, the biogas will be generated by Gas Verde, from the Jardim Gramacho landfill in Rio de Janeiro to the Petrobras Duque de Caxis plant.
It is thought that the project will reduce greenhouse emissions. As well as helping to recover the mangrove close to the landfill, the project aims to recover the plant life that used to grow on the 3 million m2 landfill site. The living conditions of people living nearby will hopefully be improved and 2 billion litres of liquid waste will be treated every day.
