Overview
Londra is a 3.88 MW biomass power plant in Brazil, operational and contributing to renewable energy generation. It supports the country's growing bioenergy sector.
Londra is a biomass power plant located in Brazil, with coordinates 23.5243° S, 48.9287° W. It has an operational status and a capacity of 3.88 MW, placing it in the small-scale category for power generation. The plant uses biomass as its primary fuel, aligning with Brazil's significant bioenergy industry. Brazil has a well-established regulatory framework for power generation, including environmental licensing and emissions standards. Biomass plants like Londra benefit from the country's abundant agricultural residues and sugarcane bagasse, which are common feedstocks. The plant's technology is typical for small-scale biomass facilities, often using combustion or gasification processes. The plant contributes to Brazil's renewable energy mix, helping to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Its small capacity suggests it may serve local communities or industrial facilities, providing distributed generation benefits. Biomass power also supports waste management by utilizing organic residues.
Environmental context
The plant's biomass fuel source has a lower carbon footprint compared to fossil fuels, but emissions of particulate matter and NOx can occur. Its location in Brazil, a country with strong solar and wind resources, means it operates in a diverse renewable energy landscape. Small-scale biomass plants often have localized environmental impacts.
