Gás Verde is a Brazilian biogas/biomethane developer. BNDES structured the BRL 131.1m package as concessional development financing split across two separate plants: Seropédica (RJ) received BRL 40.9m (of which BRL 17.1m from Fundo Clima) for a green-CO2 recovery unit that captures and purifies the CO2 co-produced during biomethane purification, targeting ~100 tonnes/day of commercial-grade CO2 — described by BNDES as the first plant of its kind in Brazil. Igarassu (PE) received BRL 90.2m (of which BRL 72.2m from Fundo Clima) for a 45,600 Nm3/day biomethane plant that will purify landfill biogas from the Ecoparque Pernambuco sanitary landfill, sited next to what is described as Latin America's largest biomethane plant (130,000 Nm3/day, also landfill-gas-derived).
Filed as subsidy/state-directed development financing, consistent with the register's existing pattern of single-project BNDES loans (Biometano São Leopoldo, Corsan water/sewage, CSN Volta Redonda, FS Bioenergia BECCS) — the same development-bank green-finance mechanism applied here to a green-CO2-recovery-plus-biomethane pairing. Low severity reflects the narrow, domestic, non-trade-distorting scope (no target countries); quant basis reflects the disclosed BRL amounts and the Fundo Clima funding share.
