Abstract

In 2008, the largest federal state company in the southern region of Brazil, Eletrosul, carried out the Alto Uruguai Project. This entailed 10 Canadian-type biodigesters, which were installed for the treatment of swine manure in Itapiranga County (located in the western region of Santa Catarina). In 2012, the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL), through the Law 9.991/2000 (which promotes research and development initiatives in Brazil), launched a strategic R&D call. This targeted technical and commercial studies aspirating for the insertion of electricity generation from biogas (which arises from waste and liquid effluents in the Brazilian Energy Matrix). Eletrosul participated with a project that aimed to interconnect all the properties of the Santa Fé Baixa Line. The present was benefited by the Alto Uruguai Project, through a pipeline network and fiber-optic communication to a 480 kVA-installed capacity miniature thermoelectric power plant (MCT). Other large biodigesters were also built with the following materials: wood, concrete, stainless steel and slate stone. In this way, different technologies of biodigesters, and in different sizes, were built. This article aims to analyze, from the perspective of the water, energy and food nexus (WEF nexus), how the dimensions of sustainability can be met, providing opportunities for social, economic and environmental development for the region where the project was developed.
