A OneBio, Brazil’s largest biometane plant, earns ANP certification, boosting the country’s decarbonization and clean energy traceability.
The Brazilian industry takes a significant step toward decarbonization with the latest achievement of OneBio, the country’s largest biometane purification plant. Located in Paulínia and the result of a partnership between Edge and Orizon, the plant received certification from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) to issue the Biometane Origin Guarantee Certificate (CGOB).
This innovative seal not only validates the renewable origin of the produced biometane but also expands marketing opportunities, providing traceability, transparency, and credibility to this clean fuel. Securing the CGOB positions OneBio as a pioneer in its size category in Brazil, reinforcing corporate leadership in the energy transition journey.
Leadership in Capacity and Innovation
OneBio stands out nationally with its impressive production capacity, being the largest among plants certified by the ANP. This leadership translates into a potential to generate up to 225,000 cubic meters of biometane per day. This achievement is a vital component of Edge’s strategy to diversify its energy solutions portfolio and help various sectors of the Brazilian economy meet their carbon emission reduction goals.
The plant operates on biogas produced from the decomposition of waste received at Orizon’s Ecoparque Paulínia, a company recognized for waste valorization and circular economy. This synergy demonstrates the immense potential to turn what were once environmental liabilities into a valuable source of renewable energy.
Market Impact and Commitment to Sustainability
The CGOB certification by the ANP not only strengthens the competitiveness of Edge and Orizon in an increasingly sustainability-focused market but also opens new avenues to offer customers lower-carbon, proven-origin energy.
Demétrio Magalhães, CEO of Edge, stated:
The ANP seal ensures that the biomethane produced at OneBio reaches the market with verified origin and traceable environmental attributes. It is a key step toward scaling this source in Brazil and supporting our clients in their decarbonization goals.
Circular Economy and the Future of Energy
For Orizon, whose expertise lies in waste valorization, this milestone reinforces the role of the circular economy and the importance of strategic partnerships to accelerate the energy transition in the country.
Milton Pilão, CEO of Orizon, highlighted:
OneBio’s certification marks a significant advance for the biomethane market in Brazil. For Orizon, which transforms waste into new energy sources at the Paulínia Ecopark, this milestone underscores the potential of the circular economy and the importance of strategic partnerships to accelerate the country’s energy transition.
This progress demonstrates the ability to develop new markets and link renewable energy production with the needs of Brazilian industry. With a diversified portfolio that includes natural gas, LNG, and biomethane, Edge continues to drive the opening of the gas market and promote a competitive, safe, and efficient energy transition. Meanwhile, Orizon solidifies its position as a transformative agent, turning waste into valuable resources and advancing the decarbonization of Brazilian industry.
