Funded by Shell Brazil, the project involves several Brazilian research institutions and promises to be a way to mitigate the damaging effects of greenhouse gas emissions. The sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) via nature-based solutions is one of the most
After assessing the flow of traffic on São Paulo’s highways, researchers calculated the possible effects of substituting diesel oil by liquid natural gas The full substitution of diesel oil used as fuel in heavy-duty trucks by liquid natural gas (LNG)

Using well-defined analytical criteria, techniques, and tools, 112 products were evaluated and three were selected that stand out with the greatest technical feasibility, market potential, and sustainability An article published early this year in the Journal of CO2 Utilization shows
Analysis of the life cycle of fuels found in 45 scientific articles shows the pros and cons of each technology Biogas is an efficient and promising alternative, in environmental terms, to substitute diesel as fuel in cargo trucks, according to
RCGI is directly involved in a Repsol Sinopec Brasil project that opens the Research & Development line entitled “Carbon Management” at the company. This project even had its embryo in the workshop “Bright Ideas for Research and Innovation”, carried out
Biopolymers were produced by cyanobacteria that capture carbon dioxide, resulting in a cheaper method that could make industrial production feasible Biopolymers, or bioplastics, are produced from renewable sources, such as vegetable oils and manioc starch, and they can even be
This is shown by a study carried out within the scope of the RCGI analyzing the elasticity of ethanol and gasoline prices in relation to the market share of these vehicles Flex fuel cars – running on technology that holds
Study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society could help lessen GHG emissions into the atmosphere by transforming CO2 into fuels and useful chemical products A study performed by researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP) resulted
The “Energy Production Innovation Center – EPIC“, resulting from a partnership between Unicamp, Equinor and FAPESP, invites to the inaugural class “Energy scenario, diversification and transition to a low carbon society”, which it will offer in the first half of
