Biomass resource assessment and mobilisation
Mapping of Biomass Residues and Wastes for Energy Valorisation in Bahia State, Brazil
Short Introductive summary
The energy sector, responsible for 75% of greenhouse gas emissions, is vital for combatting climate change. Global net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 require a comprehensive transformation in energy production, transportation, and consumption. Brazil, with a 44.7% renewable energy matrix, utilizes biomass for liquid biofuels, bioenergy, and hydrogen production. Bahia State, rich in agricultural crops and population, has untapped biomass potential. This study aims to map Bahia’s biomass energy potential, creating georeferenced and interactive maps. The research targets identifying opportunities for biogas, biomethane, electricity, and hydrogen production. These maps can guide public officials and investors, promoting sustainable energy infrastructure, reducing emissions, generating income, and fostering local sustainability. The study aligns with the state’s renewable energy goals, supporting a cleaner energy matrix and reducing dependence on the National Interconnected System.
