The Brazil Energy Programme was a project funded by the United Kingdom government with the objective of accelerating the Brazilian energy transition towards renewable energy sources. Thus, combined the British experience and the Brazilian potential in carrying out studies on different fronts: offshore wind power, solar energy, biofuels, hydrogen and waste-to-energy, focusing on regulatory and political, market and technological innovations.

The Instituto 17 led the BEP waste-to-energy front and produced several technical studies contributing to the Brazilian biogas sector. Among the discussed topics are the supply, decarbonization and investment potential of biogas in Brazil, recommendations for sector development and a regulation guide for the distribution of biomethane.
