Bioelectricity generated from sugarcane biomass is the 4th largest source of electricity withinthe Brazilian matrix.
This renewable and sustainable energy generation takes place across the whole country.
High attractiveness for investment and employment generation
Prevents the emission of greenhouse gases
A consolidated national production chain
Complementarity with hydroelectric power – peak generation during the low rainfall season, increases the country’s energy security
Reduced energy transport losses and savings on transmission investments generated near consumer centers

bioelectricity would have the technical potential to reach
,000 GWH
We have only harnessed 15% of our potential: if there were to be a full use of the biomass present in sugarcane fields, bioelectricity would have the technical potential to reach 151,000 GWh, representing over 30% of energy consumption in Brazil’s National Integrated System (SIN).
55%
potential to grow until 2030
Stimulated by RenovaBio and a stable business environment, biomass electricity has the potential to grow by more than 55% by 2030.
18,400 
GWH PRODUCED IN 2022
In 2022, the production of sugarcane bioelectricity was 18.4 thousand GWh, representing 72% of all electricity generation from biomass in the country
