Leticia Zanphorlin develops research with enzymes to transform agro-industrial waste into advanced fuels and renewable chemicals Researcher Leticia Maria Zanphorlin Murakami, from the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), was selected by Forbes Brasil magazine as one of the “100 Powerful Women in Agribusiness”. The list, published on October 15, brings together…
CNPEM facility will accept proposals during specific periods throughout the year. The first call will open on November 3. Starting in November, the HT-BioSys (High Throughput for Biological Systems) open-access facility at the Biorenewables Unit of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) will adopt a new access model for external users.…
The project analyzed 30 studies in different areas of the biome and shows how climate, soil, and management influence the storage of different carbon fractions in the soil, with possible impacts on the environment and productivity The Cerrado soil can function as an important carbon reservoir. Part of this carbon reaches the soil through vegetation…

Infrastructure at the Brazilian Biorenewables National Laboratory (LNBR) offers free access for academic researchers to conduct metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metabolomics studies The Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) will accept research proposals from external academic users interested in accessing its Multi-omics Facility between July 1 and September 30, 2026. The facility is…
nitiative brings together LNBR/CNPEM, Equinor, Embrapii and Unicamp to develop innovative solutions that transform residues from the sugar-energy industry into renewable fuel The Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) participates in the Res2Bio (Residues to Biomethane) project, an initiative that aims to expand the production of biomethane from residues from the sugar-energy…
The new discovery will aid in the development of more efficient and sustainable technologies for bioenergy generation A study led by researchers from the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), located in Campinas (SP), has identified a novel molecular mechanism that explains how enzymes degrade beta-glucans, a class of carbohydrates found in…
CNPEM has formally joined the Global Bioeconomy Alliance (GBA), a network that brings together leading universities from around the world to build a global, inclusive bioeconomy that advances sustainability, addresses environmental challenges, and fosters worldwide collaboration. The alliance was founded in 2018 by the Technical University of Munich (Germany), the University of Queensland (Australia) and…
The Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) is offering samples of a biotechnological input vital to biorefineries. The enzyme cocktail, called OpEn, was developed entirely in Brazil and has the potential to revolutionize domestic production of biofuels and bioproducts. The goal is to distribute OpEn to researchers at non-profit academic and scientific institutions…
The former Macromolecular Biophysics (BFM) facility is now called HT-BioSys (High Throughput Biological Systems), reflecting a strategic expansion in scope, technological capabilities, and scientific integration. HT-BioSys is a facility of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) and now operates as an automated, high-throughput platform dedicated to the integrated study of microorganisms and…
