Lucélia Biomass Power Plant | Brazil Power Generation Facility

Lucélia is a biomass power plant located in Brazil, with a capacity of 15.7 MW. It is classified as a small-scale facility within the Brazilian power generation sector, which has a growing focus on renewable energy sources. The plant operates on biomass fuel, a renewable resource that can include agricultural residues, wood waste, or other organic materials. In Brazil, biomass power plants are supported by regulatory frameworks such as the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) regulations and environmental licensing requirements. The technology typically involves combustion or gasification processes to generate electricity. As a biomass facility, Lucélia contributes to Brazil's renewable energy mix and helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Its operation supports local agricultural or forestry industries by utilizing waste materials. The plant's capacity is modest, serving local communities or industrial consumers.

Biomass power plants like Lucélia have a lower carbon footprint compared to fossil fuel plants, as they use organic materials that are part of the carbon cycle. However, emissions of particulate matter and other pollutants depend on the type of biomass and combustion technology. The plant's location in Brazil, a country with abundant biomass resources, supports sustainable fuel sourcing. Typical biomass plants are often located near agricultural or forestry operations.
