Overview
Cogeração Celbi is a 70 MW biomass power plant located in Portugal. It operates using biomass fuel and is currently operational.
Cogeração Celbi is a biomass power plant located in Portugal, with coordinates 40.0522° N, -8.8763° W. The facility has a capacity of 70 MW and uses biomass as its primary fuel source. It is currently in operational status. As a biomass power plant, Cogeração Celbi operates under Portugal's national energy regulations, which align with the EU Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU. Biomass plants of this scale are considered medium-sized within the Portuguese power generation sector, contributing to the country's renewable energy mix. The plant plays a role in Portugal's transition to renewable energy sources, utilizing biomass to generate electricity. Its location in the central coastal region supports local grid stability and provides a sustainable energy option for the area.
Environmental context
The plant uses biomass fuel, which is considered renewable but still emits CO2, SOx, and NOx. Its 70 MW capacity places it in a moderate scale, and its location in a populated coastal area may require adherence to local air quality standards. Typical biomass plants employ combustion or gasification processes.
