In the global energy transition, few markets are as promising as Brazil for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). With abundant waste resources, a supportive regulatory push, and rising environmental urgency, Brazil is rapidly shifting from potential to large-scale deployment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Brazil\u2019s RNG Momentum <\/h2>

Brazil is emerging as one of the world\u2019s most dynamic RNG markets. The 2025 Biogas Forum\u2014the largest biogas and biomethane event in Latin America\u2014set records with 1,500 participants and 55 sponsors. International institutions such as the International Energy Agency and the American Biogas Council highlighted Brazil\u2019s growing role in the global energy transition.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Studies by the Empresa de Pesquisa Energ\u00e9tica con\ufb01rm that RNG is now a fast-expanding industry. The updated National Solid Waste Plan (Planares, 2024) sets ambitious goals for land\ufb01ll gas recovery, targeting 252 MW of capacity by 2040. With 850 operational land\ufb01lls and nearly 3,000 inadequate disposal sites, this represents both a challenge and a strategic opportunity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

COP30: An International Springboard <\/h2>
Held in Brazil in November 2025, COP30 placed the country firmly in the international spotlight and confirmed its potential to scale renewable natural gas as a key lever in the fight against climate change. The summit reinforced Brazil\u2019s role as a strategic market for RNG, highlighting biomethane as a concrete solution to reduce methane emissions, decarbonize energy use, and accelerate the global energy transition.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

A Structuring Regulatory Framework <\/h2>

Decree No. 12.614\/2025, implementing the \u201cFuel of the Future Law,\u201d introduced a landmark RNG mandate: all natural gas\u2014sold, imported, or self-produced\u2014must include at least 1% RNG, potentially rising to 10%. It also created the Biomethane Guarantee of Origin Certi\ufb01cate (CGOB) to certify and track renewable gas volumes. With an installed capacity of 224 million m\u00b3 per year as of January 2025, Brazil must add around 4 million m\u00b3 per day to meet its targets.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Waga Energy: From Analysis to Action <\/h2>

In February 2025, Waga Energy launched Waga Energy Brasil, marking its entry into Latin America. With around 800 land\ufb01lls and thousands of open dumps, the potential for RNG is immense.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Waga Energy\u2019s technology upgrades land\ufb01ll gas into RNG, capturing fugitive methane while unlocking renewable energy potential. Beyond technology, the company offers a comprehensive service model, ranging from project analysis to \ufb01nancing, construction, and sale of RNG, thereby supporting Brazil\u2019s efforts to eliminate greenhouse gases.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
