Biomethane has emerged as a strategic and technically viable alternative to decarbonize its heavy transport sector in Brazil. Panelists 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.

Financing the energy transition is one of the greatest challenges to achieving global climate goals. Climate finance plays a crucial role in advancing decarbonization, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation and maritime transport, where renewable and biofuel solutions face high capital barriers. This panel will explore how innovative financial mechanisms, supportive policies, and regulatory frameworks can unlock investment for clean energy and biofuel projects. Discussions will also highlight the importance of international cooperation and blended finance to mobilize resources in developing countries, where emission reduction potential is greatest, but funding remains scarce.

Environmental Sustainability and Carbon Accounting: The role of biofuels in reducing emissions and decarbonizing the energy and transport matrix.

Panelists will debate on technological, regulatory, and financial pathways to decarbonize heavy-duty transport and examine how public policies, industrial innovation, and infrastructure investment can accelerate the sector’s transition towards sustainable mobility.  

This event will debate the importance of intergovernmental cooperation and strengthen collaboration among industry and academia to develop sustainable and effective decarbonization solutions. Focusing on Japan, ASEAN, and Brazil, the discussion will explore opportunities for joint innovation, technology exchange, and policy alignment to accelerate progress toward a low-carbon future.
