Distributed generation (DG) is one of the types of generation with great potential in the world and fits into the incentive schemes used worldwide. In addition, biogas as a fuel for DG presents itself as an interesting option, both from an economic and a sustainability point of view. Thus, this article addresses the modeling of the investment evaluation process in biogas-based DG projects in Brazil, using the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and Decision Model and Notation (DMN) techniques, intending to define a standard model. Although the study is applied to the Brazilian scenario, the proposed investment evaluation model can be applied to any scenario as long as the specificities of each location or country analyzed are considered. The results show that the model supports decisions on new investments in the sector and highlights the process sequence and main decision points for quality analysis. In addition, the model highlights the need to know the regulations and incentives for DG using renewable energy sources (RES) in the country, shows the available technologies, the process for producing electricity using biogas, the times for collecting operational data, estimating revenues, and investment evaluation methodologies, and promotes the growth of knowledge about RES. Finally, this approach supports sustainable development by using renewable resources efficiently, reducing waste, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. It also helps investors and policymakers make decisions about low-carbon energy systems.

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, 2025
Maçaranduba is a fruit native to Northeast Brazil, yet it remains relatively unknown due to its short shelf life, which limits its commercialization and distribution to distant markets. Extending the fruit’s longevity through sustainable preservation methods, such as edible coatings, can enhance its market potential. Meanwhile, shrimp farming is a significant economic activity in the Brazilian Northeast, generating large amounts of waste that, if not correctly managed, contribute to environmental pollution. One sustainable approach to mitigate this issue is the extraction of chitosan, a biopolymer derived from shrimp residues, which has demonstrated the potential to extend the shelf life of perishable fruits. This study is aimed at optimizing chitosan extraction from shrimp residues and evaluating its effectiveness as a coating for Maçaranduba fruits. The extraction process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) combined with the normal boundary intersection (NBI) approach, specifically focusing on enhancing yield and purity. The obtained chitosan, with a yield of 3.637 g/100 g and a purity of 84.584%, was then applied as a coating to Maçaranduba fruits, and its effects on shelf life were assessed through physicochemical analyses. The results demonstrated that the chitosan coating significantly improved key quality parameters, including reduced water activity, pH stabilization, lower mass loss, and decreased soluble solids variation. These findings highlight the potential of shrimp‐derived chitosan as an eco‐friendly and effective solution for fruit preservation. Furthermore, promoting the sustainable utilization of shrimp waste aligns with circular economy principles, reducing environmental impact while adding value to the aquaculture and agricultural sectors.

This study evaluates three scenarios’ technical and economic viability for implementing a microgeneration power plant using biogas derived from the anaerobic digestion of food waste. The case study focuses on the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) campus in Recife, northeastern (NE) Brazil, targeting the organic fraction of solid waste from food units (restaurants, canteens, and kiosks). The analysis was based on field data, the chemical composition of the waste, and the electric energy consumption. Biogas production of 166 m3/day from 1 ton/day of food waste was estimated using an anaerobic reactor of 126 m3. This amount of biogas could generate about 360 kWh/day of electricity if the plant operates at peak hours using a generator set with an alternative internal combustion engine of 120 kW, with a consumption of 66 m3/h and fuel efficiency of 30%. The system could generate 390 kWh/day of electrical energy using a microturbine, with a consumption of 78 m3/h and 30% efficiency. The scenario utilizing a tubular reactor and an internal combustion engine demonstrated the best economic viability. While this study focuses on financial aspects, the findings suggest significant potential contributions to sustainability, including reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and advancing renewable energy solutions. This model can be adapted for small NE Brazil municipalities, offering economic and environmental benefits.

• Deterministic and stochastic economic analysis of the demobilization process. • Even in the face of uncertainty, shareholders can expect a financial profit. • Policies must be aligned with the transition to renewable energy sources in Brazil. The strategic analysis for the decommissioning of thermoelectric plants is seen as a trend for the coming years. The search for renewable alternatives should stimulate investment in other energy sources, reducing the number of thermoelectric plants in the energy generation system. However, few studies have dealt with the decommissioning of oil-fired thermoelectric plants. In this work, the methodology was applied under deterministic and stochastic conditions using methods of net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), discounted payback, capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The results showed that the deterministic NPV was positive, ranging from R$101.30 million (pessimistic scenario) to R$109.73 million (optimistic scenario). The IRR was higher than the WACC of 10.55%, ranging from 13.50% to 13.68% per year. For the Monte Carlo simulation, NPV was observed with 100% certainty of viability and the probabilities of occurrence allowed more analysis of the risks involved than those obtained by deterministic methods. this study contributes to future decommissioning projects in Brazil, considering the scenario of stimulating renewable sources and the energy transition, helping managers make decisions about their projects. In addition, it helps guide public policies that can optimize the decommissioning process and strengthen the national energy sector.
