Geo Elétrica Tamboara

Considered a milestone for the sector, Geo Elétrica Tamboara is the first large-scale commercial biogas production plant in Brazil to process filter cake, vinasse and straw.

Inaugurated in 2012 in partnership with Coopcana, Geo Elétrica has an installed electricity capacity of 10MW and currently produces 1,500 Nm³/d of biomethane. The operation has expanded to 25,000 Nm³/d of biomethane (~23,000L diesel), which will be sold to industries in Londrina (PR) and the region in the format of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). The plant operates from sugarcane residues and various other agro-industrial residues.  There are 2 vertical biodigesters (BVs) of 5 thousand m³ each and 2 horizontal biodigesters (BHs) of 18 thousand m³.
