BTX

What BTX does

BTX Geologia e Meio Ambiente is a Brazilian environmental consulting and engineering firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in São Paulo, recognized as one of the five largest environmental management companies in Brazil. The company specializes in contaminated area management (GAC), environmental remediation, waste management, environmental licensing and sustainability, and environmental data management, serving real estate developers, industrial and energy operators (notably oil and gas), mining companies, and financial institutions conducting environmental due diligence. Its technical core is a broad portfolio of in-situ remediation technologies — Ozone Sparging, Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH), Thermal Conduction Heating (TCH), Steam Enhanced Extraction (SEE), Multiphase Extraction (MPE), Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE), and bioremediation with nitrate — supported by Inmetro ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited sampling across air, water, effluents, and soil, and by a Qnopy-powered digital field data platform that enforces chain-of-custody and GPS well tracking under a "Paper Zero" policy.

BTX generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements, typically scoped per client and contract, with multi-year monitoring tail work and competitive-bid enterprise sales. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to large corporates, governments, and developers, supplemented by content marketing, conference presence (including AESAS), and academic engagements at USP and UNIFESP. The firm reports more than 7,500 projects executed over 28 years (averaging roughly 120 projects per month) and roughly 300 rehabilitated areas with closed cases, including approximately 10% of rehabilitated areas in the state of São Paulo per Cetesb data. In 2025, BTX reorganized into two specialized business units — BTX Desenvolvimento Imobiliário and BTX Propriedades e Indústrias — and won three remediation projects for Petrobras and Transpetro totaling more than 1,000,000 m². Repeat recognition as Cyrela's Top Environmental Supplier (2024 and 2026) anchors its real estate vertical, while ESG advisory and a 2024 PGRS launch extend the service portfolio.
