THE SUGAR-ENERGY SECTOR IN PERNAMBUCO JOINS THE BIOGAS MARKET FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The sugar-energy industry in Pernambuco has become increasingly important for socioeconomic and environmental development, especially in the context of the energy transition. This sector has the potential to generate jobs and income by producing sugar, ethanol, bioelectricity, and biogas. Renato Cunha, president of Sindaçúcar/PE, has highlighted the benefits of combining biogas from associated plants with natural gas from Suape, which could lead to an increase in the supply of biofuels. Representatives from Shell and other organizations met with Pernambuco’s Governor Raquel Lyra to talk about collaborations and funding for the creation of low-carbon solutions. Executives from Shell, Oncorp, Copergás, and the Port of Suape have shown interest in promoting sustainable energy in the state.
