Overview
Combrée is a 1.063 MW biomass power plant in France. It generates electricity using biomass fuel and is currently operational.
Combrée is a biomass power plant located in France, with a capacity of 1.063 MW. This small-scale facility contributes to the country's renewable energy portfolio by converting biomass into electricity. As a biomass plant, Combrée operates under the European Union's Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU), which sets emission limits and requires the use of Best Available Techniques (BAT) to minimize environmental impact. Biomass power plants in France are also subject to national regulations promoting renewable energy and sustainable fuel sourcing. The plant's modest capacity suggests it serves a local community or industrial facility, providing a renewable energy source that helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Its operational status indicates ongoing contribution to France's energy mix and climate goals.
Environmental context
Biomass power plants like Combrée use organic materials as fuel, which can be carbon-neutral if sourced sustainably. The plant's small capacity minimizes its local environmental footprint, but emissions of particulate matter and NOx are regulated under EU standards.
