In 2021, we allocated in our portfolio of
regulated R&D projects R$11,839,287,
with the goal of providing electricity
safely and promoting sustainability.
The highlights were:
Carbon capture with solid adsorbent
- Post-combustion CO2 capture by
adsorption
Carried out in partnership with the Federal
University of Ceará and SATC - Associação
Beneficente da Indústria Carbonífera de Santa
Catarina (Santa Catarina State Coal Industry
Charity Association), it aims to develop a pilot
plant to capture CO2 from post-combustion coal
or natural gas. The project includes tests of a
pilot-plant for CO2 capture, process simulation
for scale-up and synthesis of zeolites, using coal
combustion residue.
Total value: R$ 5,011,021 (R$ 88,523.34 in 2021)
Funding: R&D Aneel
Allam Cycle Technology
In a pioneering way in Brazil, we also studied
the use of Allam Cycle technology to generate
energy with low carbon content gas. With
this innovation, natural gas is burned with
pure oxygen, instead of air, which adds other
components. The focus is on generating
electricity without CO2 emissions. The process
would also avoid the generation of nitrogen
oxide, one of the main atmospheric pollutants in
gas power plants.
Total estimated value: US$ 600,000
Funding: voluntary investment
Electric Mobility
The project aims to enable electric mobility in
Brazil through new business models and the
development of a digital platform that connects
consumers and entrepreneurs to energy
generators and distributors. Carried out in
partnership with Entech Renováveis, Mirow, and
Venturus.
Total value: R$ 12,729,111 (R$ 3,559,817 in 2021)
Funding: R&D Aneel
Planta-piloto de H₂
In 2022, we will invest, together with the Federal
University of Pernambuco and Hytron, in an H2
Pilot Plant. The project encompasses:
> Electrolyzer for green hydrogen generation in
Parnaíba;
> Refrigeration of the generators (currently from
gray source - WM);
> Fuel cell as backup source (essential services);
> Microgrids study with renewables and H2;
> Evaluation of business models;
> Study of regulatory and legal obstacles.
Total estimated value: R$ 17,000,000
Funding: R&D Aneel
