In Brazil, Air Liquide will design, build and deliver its first unit in Latin America for purifying biomethane produced from solid waste, at the Cariacica (ES) landfill. The site, owned and operated by Marca Ambiental, receives half of all waste produced in Espírito Santo, Brazil. The new facility will be capable of transforming this waste and processing 2,500 cubic meters per hour of biogas into biomethane. At this rate, the site will have a total production capacity of 155 GWh/year of biomethane, which can be injected into the natural gas pipeline to supply energy to the local community. The site is expected to be operational in the second half of 2025.
