The Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul is a model for sustainability in the sugar-energy sector, reinforcing the state government’s efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. On Tuesday (3), secretary Jaime Verruck signed the first resolution of the current secretariat, which governs new environmental parameters, such as the distribution and application of vinasse, a byproduct of alcohol plants. The improvement of legislation is important for the sector’s long-term practices. “Mato Grosso do Sul will become Brazil’s third state to regulate vinasse. “By encouraging the use of this residue in the production of biogas and biomethane, the state government is innovating,” Verruck said.
