Brazil Green Fuels: Sustainable hydrogen production derived from biogas and green hydrogen

24 Oct 2024
E-Fuels and Hydrogen Propulsion

GIZ has established a partnership with Mele Biogas GmbH, aiming to produce a synthetic oil known as Syncrude from animal waste generatedby pork farms in Brazil. The production process involves capturing the waste, converting it into biogas, and simultaneously generating green hydrogen through water electrolysis. Subsequently, the hydrogen and biomethane are combined to produce SynCrude, e-bioMethanol, enabling its transportation. In addition to assessing the economic viability of this solution, an important objective of the partnership is to explore the exportation of Syncrude to Germany and Europe, where it can serve as a raw material for e-fuels. The project also involves studying the certification requirements for the production plant, while ensuring animal welfare conditions. Furthermore, the partnership includes cooperatives in the Toledo-PR region, presenting a promising waste management solution for the swine protein animal chain.
