Notes and limitationsOpen
  • The potential is a model estimate, built from official data on crop production, herds, population and sanitation. It is not a field measurement.
  • The values are methane (CH₄). Raw biogas also contains other gases, so the same potential as biogas is a larger volume.
  • The accessible level (N4) accounts for logistics to a plant of viable scale. A municipality can have mobilisable potential (N3) and zero accessible potential when no plant reaches that scale.
  • The method covers the municipalities of São Paulo. Those in other states show as no CP2b data.
