BioE's first operational asset was implemented at
the Paulínia ecopark in 2022. The plant received
investments of R$ 240 million to initially explore
around 40% of the potential of biogas. The
plant supplies 100% of the already contracted
biomethane and electricity generated.

WASTE TO ENERGY
In 2021, in partnership with SABESP, Orizon began
construction of the first Waste to Energy plant in Latin America
Located in the city of Barueri, in the Greater São Paulo area,
the Energy Recovery Unit (ERU) will begin operations in
2026. The plant will be processing around 300,000 tons of
solid waste per year, managing the waste of approximately
850,000 members of the public and transforming what
would have been disposed of into enough clean energy to
supply the demands of around 320,000 people.
The solution, which is already being used in other countries,
adheres to the most rigid international safety standards
concerning energy recovery in the treatment of waste,
including the filtering, treatment and control of emissions.
The plant will have a solid waste treatment capacity of
870,000 tons per day, without intervening in the existing
chain of selective waste collection for which each municipality
is responsible, allowing for a reduction in emissions of
approximately 128,000 tCO2eq of greenhouse gases.View entire presentation
