Biomass power generation involves combustion of organic materials, which releases CO2 but is considered carbon-neutral if sourced sustainably. The plant's small capacity (3.2 MW) results in relatively low emissions compared to larger fossil fuel plants. Proximity to populated areas may require adherence to air quality standards under Mexican regulations (NOM-085-SEMARNAT). Sustainable biomass sourcing is critical to avoid deforestation or land-use conflicts.
