CIBiogás delivers artwork to Itaipu Binacional in Foz do Iguaçu

The piece, created by local artisan Vanessa Oliveira, uses the Quilling Art technique, which consists of paper filigree. Each tiny element of the work connects to others, symbolizing cooperation among institutions, researchers and partners that, together, pursue common goals.

The partnership between CIBiogás and Itaipu dates back to 2010, when Brazil had fewer than 90 biogas plants. In 2013 the center was formally established, with Itaipu’s support, becoming the first entity to believe in the initiative’s potential. Today, the country counts more than 1,700 biogas units, reflecting the sector’s expansion.

Since its inception, CIBiogás has served 22 states, analyzed over 500 substrate types and performed more than 50,000 laboratory tests, contributing to the scientific and technological advancement of biogas and biomethane in Brazil.

The artwork delivery underscores the importance of artistic production in the Triple Frontier region and highlights the role of institutional connections in the development of science, technology and innovation.
