Brazil’s biomethane certificates attract growing business interest
In Brazil, the new Biomethane Guarantee of Origin Certificates (CGOBs) are attracting interest from energy companies seeking to meet mandatory gas-sector decarbonization targets. The certificates provide traceability and recognition of biomethane’s environmental attributes, potentially creating an additional revenue stream for producers beyond physical gas sales. On November 6, the national oil and gas regulator approved the first three producer certifications, including facilities associated with Cosan and Orizon. Certificate issuance is still awaiting the launch of a dedicated digital platform. Producers certified in 2026 will be eligible for certificates covering qualifying biomethane sales dating back to January 2026.
