Four Peaks Camino Real Biomass Power Plant, United States

Four Peaks Camino Real is a biomass power plant located in the United States, with coordinates 31.8111, -106.5933. The facility has a capacity of 3.2 MW and uses waste as its primary fuel, classifying it as a small-scale biomass power plant. It is owned by ENERGYneering Solutions Inc and is currently operational. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act and associated standards for biomass combustion. Biomass power plants in the US are subject to emission limits for pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide, depending on the fuel type and technology. As a waste-to-energy facility, Four Peaks Camino Real contributes to local waste management and renewable energy generation. Its small capacity suggests it serves a local or community-scale grid, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and supporting sustainable energy goals.

The plant's use of waste as fuel reduces landfill disposal and associated methane emissions, while generating electricity. However, biomass combustion releases CO2, particulate matter, and other pollutants, requiring compliance with EPA emission standards. Its location in the southwestern US, a region with high solar potential, places it in a diverse energy mix. The small capacity minimizes local air quality impacts compared to larger facilities.
