UNICA at COP30 – “Case Brazil – Biomethane as a solution to cut emissions on heavy transport”

Brazil faces the challenge of decarbonizing its heavy transport sector, historically dependent on diesel and responsible for a significant share of national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this context, biomethane has emerged as a strategic and technically viable alternative capable of replacing diesel competitively while reducing emissions by over 90%. 

This panel will discuss the main challenges and opportunities to expand biomethane use in heavy transport, covering regulatory frameworks, distribution infrastructure, financial mechanisms, technological innovation, and regional production models. 

Speakers:

• Mrs. Priscilla Cortezze (Copersucar)
• Mrs. Renata Isfer (ABiogás)

Venue: COP30 – Blue Zone – Brazilian Sustainable Transportation Pavilion (PV-B26)
