Overview
CT ECOENERGIA (PETROBRAS) is a 13.2 MW coal power plant in Argentina, operated by PETROBRAS ARGENTINA S.A. The facility is operational and contributes to the country's power generation mix.
CT ECOENERGIA (PETROBRAS) is a coal-fired power plant located in Argentina, with a capacity of 13.2 MW. The facility is owned and operated by PETROBRAS ARGENTINA S.A. and is currently operational. As a coal power plant, it represents a small-scale generation asset within Argentina's energy sector. Argentina's power generation sector includes a mix of hydroelectric, natural gas, and renewable sources, with coal playing a minor role. The plant operates under Argentina's national environmental regulations, which set emission limits for SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. Coal plants of this size typically use subcritical boiler technology. The plant's location near the coast in Buenos Aires Province may influence its environmental context, with potential impacts on local air quality and water resources. Despite its small capacity, the facility contributes to grid stability in the region. Its operational status indicates ongoing power generation, supporting local energy demand.
Environmental context
Coal-fired power generation produces CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate emissions. The plant's proximity to populated areas in Buenos Aires Province may raise air quality concerns. Argentina's regulatory framework includes emission standards for industrial facilities, though specific compliance data for this plant is not detailed. The small capacity (13.2 MW) limits its overall environmental footprint compared to larger coal plants.
