Overview
Lattes is a 1.954 MW biomass power plant located in France. It operates as a renewable energy facility, contributing to the country's clean energy mix.
Lattes is a biomass power plant located in France, with a capacity of 1.954 MW. This facility is part of France's renewable energy infrastructure, utilizing biomass as its primary fuel source. The plant is operational and contributes to the local energy grid. As a biomass facility, Lattes 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 relatively small capacity places it in the small-scale category for power generation. Its operation supports France's goals for renewable energy integration and carbon emission reduction. The facility's location in the southern region of France benefits from the area's agricultural and forestry resources, which can provide a sustainable supply of biomass fuel.
Environmental context
Biomass power plants like Lattes use organic materials for fuel, which can be carbon-neutral if sourced sustainably. The plant's small capacity limits its overall emissions, but local air quality considerations include particulate matter and NOx from combustion. The facility's operation aligns with EU regulations for renewable energy and emission controls.
